“After an extensive interview process with representatives of the various campus constituencies,” King’s President The Rev. John Ryan said in a media release. “We felt Robert was the best choice for leveraging the college’s recent admissions successes and continuing to draw a talented and diverse student body and maintain a high level of student engagement.”
