Michigan provost, Philip Hanlon named Dartmouth College's new president

<p>The number of Michigan administrators and alums who go on to lead other universities is impressive to say the least. In recent years, Michigan alums and/or administrators have been presidents of Columbia, Cornell, MIT, Princeton, UVa and now Dartmouth.</p>

<p>Not to mention Marvin Krislov, the former Vice President and General Counsel at Michigan (and formerly my boss), who is now President at Oberlin.</p>

<p>what’s oberlin? That’s the eurotrip college right?</p>

<p>OMG! I got the email too!</p>

<p>Berkeley as well.<br>
New Chancellor taught at Michigan in the past. Mentioned a great university is made greater if it’s public. </p>

<p>Congrats on your new chancellor UCB. Please keep Jennifer Granholm too. :-)</p>

<p>“Mentioned a great university is made greater if it’s public.” And mentioned that it was at the University of Michigan where he first learned that! ;)</p>

<p>Another cool morsel; 6 of Cornell’s 12 presidents have been affiliated to Michigan, including Andrew Dickson White, Cornell’s co-founder and first president. </p>

<p>Also, two of MIT’s last four presidents (Vest and Wiesner) were Michigan alums and employees.</p>

<p>That Jennifer Granholm is crazy! I watched her speech at the Dem convention.</p>

<p>Took a minicourse he taught this semester, nice guy I’m sure he’ll do well at Dartmouth.</p>
