In addition to the Penn-made presidents in the recent issue (Almanac February 20), Dr. Lawrence M. Schall, J.D. ’78, Ed.D. ’03, former co-director of Penn’s Executive Doctorate Program and adjunct faculty member of Penn’s GSE, was named president of Oglethorpe University, in Atlanta, GA, in 2005.

Another Penn-educated person has recently been named a president—Dr. Elaine P. Maimon, earned her B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. in English, at Penn, and has been Chancellor at the University of Alaska at Anchorage since 2004, will become the president of Governors State University in University Park, IL, on July 1, 2007.
