Throughout our history, we have been blessed with excellent leadership, beginning with our founder and first president Rev. John DuBois, who served from 1808 to 1826. Clergymen led the Mount until the Board of Trustees named John J. Dillon, Ph.D., the 20th president in 1971. Our current president is Gerard J. Joyce, Ph.D.
