Especially with his past experiences here at the College, Rick is the perfect fit for this moment in our history. Our community will reap the benefits of having an outsider’s and an insider’s perspective at the same time. It feels very much like the workings of Providence to all of us here at the College.”

It is a unique institution, whose students and graduates are transformed by its educational commitment and its extraordinary community. I am glad that the Board was as eager to bring me aboard as I was to return, and I am honored to be a part of this next chapter of the Wyoming Catholic College story.”
