The people of Nevada hit a gold mine when they selected Kerry Romesburg to become the president of Nevada State College. He is one of the finest higher education leaders in the United States.
We were fortunate to have him in Utah, where he turned a small community college into a comprehensive state college. He left a legacy of accomplishments and was universally loved and respected by students, staff, faculty and the community.
In addition to Romesburg, you get his lovely wife, Judy. Indeed the people of Nevada have struck it rich.
