Mercy College President Tim Hall and Vice President William Latimer, former president of The College of New Rochelle (CNR), have been tapped as co-presenters at South by Southwest (SXSW EDU), a conference for innovative educators. The two leaders will serve as panelists in a case study discussion of the agreement forged last year between Mercy and CNR. SXSW EDU will take place in Austin, Texas, on March 9-12, 2020.

Hall and Latimer will engage participants in an exploration of leadership development for management and administration across all facets of the education system. Their conversation will include groundbreaking insights on topics ranging from school, district and institutional leadership to business and executive management.

Past presenters include journalist Dan Rather, former Gov. Jeb Bush, youth activist and author Marley Dias, NASA Astronaut Leland Melvin and Special Olympics’ Chairman Timothy Shriver.
