The OLLU community welcomed its ninth president the morning of July 16, in front of Main Building. Diane E. Melby, EdD, received an enthusiastic reception from staff, faculty, students and Sisters of Divine Providence, while President Emerita Sister Jane Ann Slater, CDP, PhD, bid her and OLLU farewell.
Slater presented Melby with a statue of Father John Martin Moye, the founder of OLLU’s sponsoring order, the Congregation of Divine Providence, and gave a special blessing to Melby.
Throughout the day, Melby met with university well-wishers and toured the campus.
