TAKING THE HELM: NEW PRESIDENT OF ST. THOMAS The investiture of Robert K. Vischer, J.D., as the 16th president of the University of St. Thomas took place May 12, 2023. He was unanimously selected in December by the Board of Trustees after a nationwide search. Vischer, who has a storied tenure at St. Thomas, became the interim president in 2022. He served as dean of the university’s law school from 2013-22, rising through its ranks from associate professor of law in 2005. “Rob is known as a highly effective relational leader with a strong dedication to the mission of the university and someone who puts the students at the center of every decision and action,” said GHR Foundation CEO and Chair Dr. Amy Goldman, the St. Thomas Board of Trustees member who chaired the Presidential Search Committee. “Rob will build upon the strong assets of this outstanding institution and lead it to even greater impact and reach,” she said.
