CHARLESTON, W.Va. — After what he calls one of the most challenging professional years of his life with the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Martin Roth was rewarded for guiding the University of Charleston through it with a contract extension as president.
The University of Charleston Board of Trustees announced that it has extended the contract of its 26th president that will now expire at the end of June 2025. The financial side of Roth’s contract could not be disclosed due to the university being a private institution.
Roth joined the University of Charleston (UC) as president on July 1, 2018 from the Barney School of Business at the University of Hartford, where he served as dean.
