First woman president of Delaware State University stepping down after two years

The first woman to lead Delaware State University will leave her post after less than two years.

Wilma Mishoe, 70, will step down from the historically Black university at the end of the year, according to the university’s website.

Mishoe, who had been the first woman to head the university’s board of trustees, left retirement to become interim president in January 2017 after the departure of then-President Harry Williams. Tony Allen, the university’s provost and executive vice president, told The Associated Press that Mishoe had expected to help “stabilize” the school and then return to retirement.

Allen will take over as president on Jan. 1, according to the university’s website.
