MSU President Guskiewicz Leaving School to Become President at Clemson University
- On Wednesday, Clemson University's Board of Trustees unanimously named Kevin Guskiewicz as its 16th president during a virtual meeting, with Guskiewicz telling trustees he was "deeply honored and incredibly grateful" to accept the role.
- The search began in December after Jim Clements stepped down on Dec. 31, with interim President Bob Jones taking over Jan. 1 and Trustee Cheri Phyfer leading a nationwide recruitment that engaged 18 stakeholder groups.
- Guskiewicz received the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship in 2011 for pioneering work on sport-related concussions and was inducted into the National Athletic Trainers' Association Hall of Fame in 2020. His 30-year academic career spans neuroscience and sports medicine, including service as University of North Carolina chancellor from 2019 to 2024.
- Michigan State will search for a new president after Guskiewicz's departure, though MSU Board Chair Brianna Scott stated his leadership "set the university on a positive trajectory," and Guskiewicz committed to achieving record philanthropic giving at Clemson.
- Just eight days before accepting Clemson's position, the Michigan State University Board of Trustees voted to nearly double Guskiewicz's salary from $1.02 million to $2 million through 2031, yet he will earn less at Clemson with a start date still being finalized.
