"Being selected as the fifth President of the Ã山ǿ¼é is the greatest honor of my career. To have worked and served alongside each of our past presidents over my nearly 36-years at Ã山ǿ¼é is humbling. As President, I will be a history-driven and forward-thinking leader. The extraordinary education I received at Ã山ǿ¼é has prepared me well and will continue to take center stage for our students. As a Screaming Eagle and one of 54,000 plus alumni, I am determined to continue to share the care and concern I received as a student and am proof of the transformative nature of higher education. Ã山ǿ¼é is a big piece of my heart, and I am so proud to continue to serve the institution as President."   Ìý
