News summary

Dr. Shereef Elnahal is the sole finalist for president of Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) after another candidate withdrew, presenting his leadership vision focused on transparency, empathy, and support for vulnerable communities. Meanwhile, Terri Grates Day, a first-generation college graduate and alumna of Herkimer County Community College, was appointed the fifth president of Herkimer College, returning from her role as vice president for academic affairs at Volunteer State Community College in Tennessee. Grates Day brings extensive experience in academic leadership, curriculum development, and student success initiatives, and will lead Herkimer College amid local economic development opportunities. At St. John’s College, Nora Demleitner stepped down as president after serving since January 2022, with J. Walter Sterling and Suzy Paalman assuming leadership roles at the college’s campuses, as the institution faces financial challenges including a structural deficit and declining enrollment. These leadership changes at key academic institutions highlight ongoing efforts to address financial, enrollment, and community engagement challenges in higher education.
