On Friday, June 12, UVA President John Casteen announced his retirement after what will be 20 years at the helm of the University. In some ways, Casteen’s departure was expected. But at the same time, the decision to step down leaves the Board of Visitors with the responsibility to choose his successor. For those who have worked with Casteen for most of their adult life, the next UVA president will have “big shoes to fill.”
