Occidental College names as its president Tom Stritikus, a champion of liberal arts education, diversity and inclusion who led a Colorado public college.
A Colorado college leader credited with fundraising prowess, groundbreaking work with Native American communities and decades of higher education experience has been named the Occidental College president, trustees for the Eagle Rock campus announced Tuesday. Tom Stritikus, president of Fort Lewis College in Colorado, will succeed Harry J. Elam Jr. on July 1 as Occidental's 17th president.
In coming to Occidental, Stritikus will head a college significantly different from Fort Lewis. The Colorado campus is a rural public institution with a 47% graduation rate, 93% acceptance rate and 3,260 students who are primarily white, Native American and Latino, according to the federal College Scorecard. By contrast, Occidental is an urban private college with an 87% graduation rate, 38% admission rate and a more broadly diverse population of 1,950 students.
