Bruce C. Kusch has taken over as the 13th president of LDS Business College in Salt Lake City. He replaces J. Lawrence Richards, who served eight years as president and 15 years as a teacher at the school. Kusch had been serving as chief academic officer, with responsibility for faculty and academic programs. An official inauguration will be held later this year.
I’m honored, humbled and excited for the opportunity to continue working with faculty, staff and students at LDS Business College,” said Kusch. “President Richards provided excellent leadership and we will continue to prepare students to become all the Lord needs them to be as his disciples. It’s a great privilege to be part of the Church Educational System and this great work of the Restoration.”
LDS Business College was founded in 1886 and is home to 2,200 students from all 50 U.S. states and 60 countries. The college provides skills-based, market-driven education and awards two-year associate degrees or one-year certificates. The college also trains hundreds of nontraditional students through shorter, online courses.
