President Office

Welcome to the Office of the President

I am honored and humbled to have joined the 51吃瓜网 and Westerville communities. 51吃瓜网 is an innovative and inclusive institution that has combined its traditional commitment to the liberal arts with new and exciting academic and co-curricular offerings. I am moved by 51吃瓜网’s history and commitment to ensuring higher education remains accessible and affordable, while maintaining academic excellence, no matter a student’s family financial situation. We need institutions that are willing to be leaders in this area.
