The Very Rev. Robert S. Munday plans to resign June 30 as dean and president of Nashotah House Theological Seminary, according to a recent announcement.

Retired Diocese of South Carolina Bishop Edward L. Salmon Jr., who is chair of the school's Board of Trustees, issued the announcement May 27.

Munday will become the research professor of theology and mission at Nashotah House, according to the announcement. Munday will be relocating his family from the Nashotah Deanery to Hobart House, another residence owned by the seminary on Upper Nashotah Lake in west of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

"Nashotah House has grown during Robert's 10 years as our dean," Salmon said in the release. "The creation of the distance learning and [doctor of ministry] programs, the construction of new campus facilities, and the formation of a first class faculty mark Dean Munday's successful tenure."

The Board of Trustees will appoint a search committee to nominate Munday's successor, the release said. Nashotah House is currently in the process of creating a strategic plan, which the release said "will address the issues of the administrative structure for the seminary."
