With a background spanning music, theology, aviation, and 26 years of military service, including teaching at West Point, Vander Lugt is poised to lead “America’s Arctic University” with trust, transparency, and a focus on research and student success. He begins September 8, while Larry Hinzman steps in as interim chancellor to ensure a smooth transition. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
