The current dean of Mercer's college of Liberal Arts, Lake Lambert III, will leave Mercer to become the president of Hanover College in Indiana, according to The (Macon) Telegraph.
“Even before I entered the presidential search process, I knew that Hanover was a special place: a strong liberal arts curriculum, unique opportunities like the Business Scholars program, broad participation in athletics, and a tightly knit residential campus form a powerful learning community that makes a holistic impact on students,” Lambert said in a release from Hanover.
Since 2010, Lambert has served as dean of Mercer's college of Liberal Arts. He will become Hanover's 16th president on July 1 and succeeds Hanover college's current president Sue DeWine.
