Berea College Selects First Woman to Lead School

Berea College on Saturday selected its next president, who will become the first woman to lead the Kentucky school in its 167-year history. Cheryl L. Nixon received unanimous support from the school's Board of Trustees. She'll begin the job on July 1, 2023, following the retirement of current school President Lyle D. Roelofs.
Nixon said she shares Berea's “focus on inclusive excellence.”
