Impressions?

What are your first impressions of Carleton's new president?

Seems like a bit less of an academic than Oden (actually, not a whole lot of academic papers et cetera on his CV). I'm willing to bet he speaks at least 8 fewer languages than Oden.

But it looks like he's got a lot of administrative experience and was extremely effective. And it seems the committee was impressed with his personal demeanor throughout the entire process.

Did any of you current Carls see him speak or anything during the selection process? I'm curious to hear what you think.
