August 3, 2026

Providence, RI –  TODAY, Congressman Gabe Amo (D-RI) released the following statement after Brown University President Christina Paxson announced she will be stepping down at the close of the 2026-2027 academic year:

“For more than a decade, President Christina Paxson has led Brown University with thoughtfulness and distinction. 

She has increased the impact and reach of the university’s academic contributions, grown Brown’s presence in Providence and Rhode Island, and guided its campus community through one of its darkest hours. 

I wish President Paxson all the best as her tenure comes to a close and she prepares for her next chapter.”
