Bryon L. Grigsby

Since becoming President in 2013, Bryon Grigsby has been leading Moravian University and Moravian Theological Seminary in our pursuit of academic access and innovation. Bryon L. Grigsby ’90 returned to his alma mater and began his tenure as 16th president of Moravian University and Moravian Theological Seminary on July 1, 2013. During his first year, Grigsby led Moravian through a number of important initiatives that have improved and developed the academic programs, upgraded facilities, and greatly enhanced the technology infrastructure on campus. He also led the college in developing a five-year strategic plan. On July 1, 2021 Moravian University officially transitioned to Moravian University under President Grigsby's leadership.

One of Grigsby’s first initiatives was to integrate technology into the classroom to enhance the learning experience for students and faculty. He developed a program to issue a MacBook Pro® laptop and an iPad® to all undergraduate students entering in the fall of 2014. The program facilitates the "classroom flip" model of learning in which students access online lectures and resources outside of class, allowing professors to spend more time working directly with students in the classroom. The college has also implemented a state-of the-art wireless mesh network that encourages a collaborative knowledge-sharing environment designed for interactive learning anywhere on campus. In 2021, Moravian was named an Apple Distinguished School for the 2nd time.
