Elizabeth Kiss, an Oxford-trained philosopher and former college president who most recently served as CEO of the Rhodes Trust, has been selected as the 20th president of Union College.
Kiss (pronounced ‘quiche’) will succeed David Harris, who announced last fall he would be stepping down at the end of the current academic year after seven years. Kiss begins her new role July 1.
The announcement was featured in a number of media outlets, including the Times Union, Daily Gazette, Albany Business Review, WAMC, Spectrum News and News10ABC, Inside Higher Ed, University Business and Chronicle of Higher Education, among others. Some outlets may have a paywall.
