The Board of Higher Education has appointed John Miller as the president of Williston State College.
Miller had been acting president since June, 2016 – when former president Dr. Raymond Nadolny left. Miller has been the Vice-President for Academic Affairs since 2015. He had applied to be the president before Nadolny was hired.
University System Chancellor Mark Hagerott said Miller has done a tremendous job as the acting president – at a time of stress and difficulty on campus, due to Nadolny's early exit -- and a difficult budget sitaution.
"The thing that really impressed me is when he was not selected as the president, I never heard a nanosecond of any complaint or disloyalty," Hagerott told the Board. "He's a team player, which speaks volumes on how he treats people both up and down the chain of command."
"Williston is a better place having you there," said Board chairman Kathleen Neset.
The Board decided not to conduct a search for the WSC president.
The Chancellor and a board member will negotiate Miller’s contract.
