James H. Mullen Jr. has been named the 21st president of Allegheny College. He will take office Aug. 1, 2008.
Mullen was elected unanimously by the Allegheny Board of Trustees on the unanimous recommendation of the Presidential Search Committee, which conducted a national search for a successor to Richard J. Cook, who is retiring after 12 years as president of Allegheny College.
"We are fortunate to have found a new president who has not only broad experience in higher education but a proven track record in leadership roles," said Chris Nelson, chair of the board of trustees. "As president of Elms College, as chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Asheville and as senior vice president of Trinity College, Dr. Mullen has earned accolades. His is a remarkable record of leadership and service."
