Statement by Mrs. Federica Mogherini, Rector of the College of Europe

In line with the utmost rigour and fairness with which I always carried out my duties, today I decided to resign as Rector of the College of Europe and Director of the European Union Diplomatic Academy.

I am sure that the College community across our three campuses will continue on the path to innovation and excellence that we have charted together over these past wonderful five years.

I am proud of what we have achieved together and I am deeply grateful for the trust, esteem, and support that students, faculty, staff, and Alumni of the College and the Academy have shown and are showing to me.

It has been an honor and a pleasure for me to serve the College community and its mission.
