The Chair and the New President: Getting the First Months Right
Riggs, Janet Morgan; Duelks, Robert
Trusteeship, v20 n1 p30-33 Jan-Feb 2012
Gettysburg College President Janet Morgan Riggs and Board Chair Robert N. Duelks are both members of the Gettysburg class of 1977, but did not know each other as students. As a member of the college's board of trustees, Duelks chaired the presidential search committee that selected Riggs as Gettysburg's 14th president in 2009. Then, one year after she took office, Duelks became chair of the board. "Trusteeship" asked both Duelks and Riggs about how they have worked together early on to lay the groundwork for her long-term success as president. (Lists 2 resources.)
