Being President Of A Major

I Am A Bit Odd. I Am Somewhat Evangelical. But I Am Not Crazy.

The Arts, Quite Simply, Nourish The Soul. They Sustain, Comfort, Inspire. There Is Nothing Like That Exquisite Moment When You First Discover The Beauty Of Connecting With Others In Celebration Of Larger Ideals And Shared Wisdom.

Being President Of A Major Public University Is The Most Political Nonpolitical Office Around.

I Believe That It Is Higher Education's Purpose And Calling To Keep Open The Door To The American Dream.

I Often Have Said That To Be A College President, You Need A Thick Skin, A Good Sense Of Humor, And Nerves Like Sewer Pipes.
