The new president of Galen was recommended by Dr. Louis Zabaneh, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Acting President, and was confirmed by the Advisory Board for Academic Affairs at its meeting held on May 7, 2010. Her recommendation and confirmation were made because of her extensive university administration experience, her proven history of scholarly activities, and the loyalty she has already garnered from the faculty and staff at the university due to her competence and commitment.
