Alumni/ae Awards & Accolades

Elaine Tuttle Hansen (M.A. '72, English) was appointed seventh president of Bates College in Lewiston, ME. Hansen is the first woman to lead Bates College since its founding in 1855.

Betty Youngblood (M.A. '66, area studies; Ph.D. '70) is the first woman president of Lake Superior State University in Michigan. Youngblood, a Michigan native, is leaving her position as president of Western Oregon University in Monmouth, which she's held since 1995.

Roger Nygard (speech communication '84) was recruited as supervising editor and sometime director of HBO's “The Mind of the Married Man." It has put him, he says, in the “awkward position" of being regarded as “some expert on men and their thought processes. I've gotten calls from ex-girlfriends, asking advice about their current boyfriends' state of mind.”
