First, let me point out that my wife and I and my wife's sister all graduated from Lewis & Clark College in the 70's, my daughter and her husband both graduated from L&C in 2007 (and his mother and aunt also graduated from L&C in the 70's), so I have a lot of perspective on the college...and, from listening to Dr. Glassner, I believe he will make an excellent president for Lewis & Clark. For someone who has not even served as president yet, he seems to already have perceptive insights as to many of the elements of Lewis & Clark  that make L&C  a unique and incredible experience. I wish him nothing but the best!

As a frequent TOL listener, I must agree with earlier commenters that Emily, unlike her usual positive, welcoming interviewing style, seemed oddly intent on grilling this guest in a surprisingly negative and confrontational manner. Nonetheless, I thought Dr. Glassner handled the interview with forthrightness and grace, and I thank Think Out Loud for this opportunity to "get to know" Lewis & Clark's newest leader.
