Malone University Presidential Collections: Dr. Wilbert Friesen, Interim President 2011 2010-2011

http://rave.ohiolink.edu/archives/ead/OCanM0021

Dr. Wilbert Friesen served as interim president of Malone University from 2010 to 2011. He first joined the Malone family in 2008, when he left Fresno Pacific University in California to become the Malone University Provost. His appointment as interim president came following the sudden retirement of the former president, Dr. Gary Streit. According to a November 22, 2011 article in the Aviso newsletter, "Late in the day on Sunday, Feb. 21, 2010, Friesen was notified by the Board of Trustees that Streit had formally resigned and Friesen was approved as president starting with an introduction to the faculty at 10 a.m. the next morning." During his unexpected term, he assisted with accreditation preparations, addressed issues of faculty diversity, and upgraded admissions structures. After his position ended on December 31, 2011, he was appointed Provost and Chief Academic Officer at Judson University in Elgin, IL. The collection contains a 2011 Aviso article outlining Dr. Friesen's career at and before Malone, published after it was decided that Dr. David King would become the new president, and a copy of the October 2011 "About Living Your Best Life" magazine, in which Dr. Friesen is interviewed concerning his home near Malone's campus.
