Rob Vischer Selected as University of St. Thomas President

Law school Dean Rob Vischer will serve as the next president for the University of St. Thomas, after holding the role in an interim capacity for six months. Vischer, 52, will be the second layperson to lead the 137-year-old Catholic institution based in St. Paul. The first was Julie Sullivan, who also was the first woman to lead the university, and who left this past summer to take a similar job in California.
