WELCOME FROM THE INTERIM PRESIDENT
CHAD BENSON ’90
Dear Morningside Community –
With gratitude and optimism, I step into the role of Interim President of Morningside University, a place built on excellence, connection, and the belief that every story matters.
Morningside’s greatest strength is, without a doubt, its people. Our students continue to inspire, our faculty and staff drive the mission forward, and our alumni keep building a legacy of excellence and impact. And together, we’re making big things happen—from what might be a record-breaking incoming class to exciting growth in academics, technology, and student life.
My leadership philosophy can be summarized in four words: Listen, Learn, Lead, and Love. I’m here to listen to your aspirations, learn from the amazing work happening across campus, lead with purpose and care, and love the mission that connects us all.
This year, we’re focused on two themes, Morningside in Motion and What’s Your Story? These initiatives celebrate progress, connection, and the unique journeys that shape our community.
I look forward to meeting you, hearing your stories, and building on our shared commitment to impact and connection. Together, we will continue moving Morningside forward.
Here’s to moving forward, together,
Chad Benson ’90
