Linda Thompson Named President of Westfield State University
The board of trustees at Westfield State University (WSU) selected higher-education and public-policy leader Linda Thompson to serve as the university’s 21st president. Pending Board of Higher Education approval, Thompson is slated to begin her presidency this summer. “Based on Dr. Thompson’s credentials and wealth of experience in influential leadership and collaboration, paired with her highly engaging campus visit with Westfield State’s varied constituents, the board voted to recommend her as the university’s next leader,” said Kevin Queenin, who chairs the WSU board of trustees.
