Excellent on all fronts.  A true academic with a respectable publication record, an alumnus,  a highly regarded and rewarded professor and former PUC colleague, and a successful president on another (SDA) campus. Anderson recognizes and understands the Napa Valley, a community rich in human and tangible resources and which has been ignored by the college for the last several years.  Also, he lives just down the street from from campus . . . .

Maybe they can talk him into staying a bit longer than the original six-month stint so PUC can do a less stressful search.
