The College of Charleston soon will begin the search for a new president after George Benson announced Friday that he would step down in June 2014.
Benson, 67, who has held the college’s top post since 2007, will be leaving several months before the end of his current contract, which runs through Feb. 28, 2015. He said he planned to take a year sabbatical after he stepped down, and then return as a faculty member in the college’s School of Business.
