Steve Poskanzer Named President of Carleton College

Steve Poskanzer took over as President of Carleton College in Northfield, Minn., on August 2, following nine years of services as the President of the State University of New York at New Paltz. According to a Carleton statement,

“Steven Poskanzer is a rare individual, who combines intellect, wit, and a passion for the liberal arts with an innate ability to win over almost everyone he meets,” Carleton Board of Trustees chair and presidential search committee co-chair Jack Eugster said. “His successes as president at SUNY–New Paltz and as a teacher-scholar are just the type of experiences the search committee and the Board of Trustees sought for Carleton’s next president. I’m excited that Steve is joining Carleton. He, no doubt, will brilliantly lead Carleton in the fine traditions of the ten presidents who have preceded him.”
