Congratulations to my long time colleague and friend Javier Cevallos on his selection as the new President of the American Academic Leadership Institute (AALI). Javier has served as President of Framingham State University since 2014 and is the former President of Kutztown University. We have served together on the Boards of Second Nature and Academic Search the last few years. Based in Washington, D.C., AALI’s main purpose is cultivating the next generation of college and university leaders.
