Former Ford Vice Chair becomes WSU President

A front page story discusses the unanimous election of Allan Gilmour as Wayne State University's 11th President. "He is an active leader," said Gov. Tina Abbott, (then) vice chair of the Board. "He is a problem-solver and making a difference." Governor Paul Massaron, who chaired WSU's Presidential Search Committee, agreed, adding, "Wayne State needs a president of Allan's stature; he knows how to lead." Gilmour, who will continue as president through the 2012-2013 academic year, said that higher education is a great calling. "These five months at Wayne State have been energizing and challenging. I am delighted to continue in the role of president, and honored by the confidence the Board has expressed in me." A photo of President Gilmour is included.
