One of three finalists, Summers is provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs at University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Tyler Fairbank chairs MCLA’s Board of Trustees.
“We’re really excited where we are,” Fairbank said. “Obviously MCLA has come a long way over the last number of years and really climbed its way to national acclaim and doing very, very well. We’re thrilled. President Grant did a phenomenal job and we have a chapter to open.”
