(Belleville, IL) — Lindenwood University-Belleville Jerry Bladdick says he’s stepping down in eleven months. Bladdick is the first head of the Belleville campus to hold the title of president, and under his watch, the school has expanded from a night school only for upperclassmen and non-traditional students to a full-time day school with classes for freshmen and sophomores as well. Bladdick says his future plans are unclear, but he said he’s leaving “the best job a person could ask for.”
