Meet Mount Union's 14th President: Greg King

As a senior at the University of Mount Union, Greg King figured he’d go into banking or insurance after he graduated in 1989. Harold Kolenbrander, then Mount Union’s president, asked King to stay at Mount Union and work as its first Wayne Manzilla Diversity Internship program intern. Kolenbrander started the internship, named after Mount Union’s first African American graduate, to help diversify Mount Union’s staff after it struggled to recruit minority candidates from outside the college. On Wednesday, King will become the 14th president of the university where he has spent his career. He also will be the first president of color in Mount Union’s 177-year history.
