Caltech President Jean-Lou Chameau will leave his position at the end of the school year to head up a science and tech-focused university in Saudi Arabia, the institute announced Tuesday.
Chameau, who will be leading King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, said in a statement that he was proud of the students and faculty he will leave behind in Pasadena.
"The discoveries, recognition, and impact of the Caltechfaculty in a typical year are the envy of our peers," he said. "The opportunity to interact with such a special group, and to support their endeavors, is a reward in itself."
