Miami University provost becomes new president of Colgate University
HAMILTON, N.Y. (AP) -- Miami University of Ohio provost Dr. Jeffrey Herbst is the new president of Colgate University.
Colgate trustees say Monday they've unanimously approved Herbst's appointment to succeed interim president Lyle Roelofs, who temporarily took over the upstate New York school after Rebecca Chopp departed to become president of Swarthmore College.
The 48-year-old Herbst will be introduced to the campus Tuesday and take office next summer.
Herbst graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University in 1983 and went on to earn advanced degrees in political science from Yale University. Herbst later taught at Princeton. He's also received two Fulbright scholarships.
Herbst served five years as provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at Miami.
