University Administration

Tullisse (Toni) A. Murdock Ph.D, Chancellor

Only a handful of women today lead multiple campuses of accredited university systems.

Those who work with Antioch University Chancellor Toni Murdock say they’re enriched by her dedication.

“I do think we, as women, bring a different agenda to our universities,” Chancellor Murdock notes. “We focus on how to make our campuses more humane for our students. Diversity and access are huge on our agendas.

“The American higher education system needs Antioch in its multiple forms and campuses to preserve and promote the values of an educated citizenry and to encourage social reform. To enflame the passion and commitment of our students with the knowledge to make our world a better place to live – that is Antioch’s mission.”

In 1997, Murdock was appointed the first female president of an Antioch campus (Seattle), where she served for nine years. She became Antioch’s first female chancellor in 2005.
