Harvard University President Drew Faust announced Wednesday that she will step down from her post in June 2018.

In a letter to students, she called it the “right time for transition,” according to the Harvard Crimson.

“It has been a privilege beyond words to work with all of you to lead Harvard, in the words of her alma mater, ‘through change and through storm,'” she wrote, according to a university statement.

Faust, Harvard’s 28th president, has held her role since 2007. Her appointment was groundbreaking — she was the first female president in the university’s nearly 400-year history.
