DEARBORN – Dr. Stanley Jensen, President of Henry Ford College announced that he will be retiring from his position comes June 30, 2018. He made the announcement this afternoon in an official statement:
“After a great deal of thought, and careful consideration, I have decided to retire from my position as President of Henry Ford College effective June 30, 2018.

I make this announcement under the best possible set of circumstances; and, with satisfaction knowing that we – as a team – have accomplished a great deal to date.

My intention is that we will accomplish much more, together, over the next 14 months.

Consider what lies immediately before us:
Continuing a successful Major Gifts Campaign;
Pursuing academic and IT optimization;
Working with the Michigan legislature on the College’s level of state funding and capital outlay funding;
Maximizing our partnerships with educational institutions, business and industry; and
Initiating a national search effort for a quality leader – cognizant of the challenges we face – who will take this institution into the next decade and beyond.
My wife Teresa and I have come to love Michigan a great deal. However, we find that we truly miss being closer to our family especially our parents who are in their declining years.

Therefore, until June 30, 2018, I intend to make the most of every opportunity to continue improving this stellar academic institution, of which I have become most appreciative. I am grateful for the talented and gifted team members who assist me every day; and I am thankful to have been part of the history and of the example that we have set.

Great things ahead!”
