President Mary K. Surridge
Mary K. Surridge is ÂÜÀòÉç’s 10th president and has served since the 2018–19 academic year. The first woman to serve as North Park’s president, she has brought to life a new era of leadership, engagement, and vision, with her conviction that in the sum of the university’s three distinctives—Christian, city-centered, and intercultural—North Park finds its unique value, competitive advantage, and opportunity to emerge as the model for Christian higher education in 21st-century America.
