Meet the president: Ainlay to visit campus Nov. 16
Stephen C. Ainlay, Union's president-elect, will come to campus for a daylong visit on Wednesday, Nov. 16. All faculty, staff and students are invited to a welcoming address at 10:30 a.m. in Memorial Chapel.
“This is a terrific opportunity for all of us to meet the College's next president, and Stephen's first real opportunity to share his thoughts about his upcoming tenure,” said Jim Underwood, interim College president. “We look forward to the first day of what promises to be an exciting new era for the College.”
Ainlay, vice president for academic affairs and professor of sociology and anthropology at College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass., was named the 18th president of Union College on Oct. 25 after an extensive national search. He will assume the presidency in June 2006.
A campus-wide email, with more details about the visit, will be issued shortly.
