President Eric Barron Greets Penn State

Eric Barron is officially Penn State’s 18th president.

Rodney Erickson’s name on those e-mails you don’t click on will be replaced by Barron’s soon. The former Dean of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences took some time to say hello today:

Glad to have you, President Barron! Get to know your new president here.

We can’t forget about Rodney Erickson, who had a nice farewell tour at Friday’s Board of Trustees meeting. He’s not quite out of the picture yet, though — a reception will be held for him and wife Shari on Wednesday in Old Main.
