About Dr. John Cech
Dr. John Cech is the 18th President of Carroll College, assuming the presidency in June 2018. Prior to leading Carroll, Dr. Cech and his wife Victoria already had a special familiarity with Carroll.
"As the parents of a Saint (son Isaiah graduated in May 2020), both Victoria and I believe in Carroll College, its mission and the large impact the Carroll experience has on students.
"For the past several years, I have had the pleasure of getting to know many of the faculty, staff, and Carroll community, the mission, and its Catholic identity. I’ve come to see firsthand that ‘Not for School, But for Life’, isn’t just some motto on a plaque. It’s something real and life-giving.”
