Schmotter named dean
at Western Michigan
James W. Schmotter, dean
of the College of Business and
Economics, has accepted the
position of
dean of the
Haworth
College of
Business at
Western
Michigan
University,
effective
July 1.
Schmotter
Schmotter
joined Lehigh in 1992, after
serving as associate dean of the
Johnson Graduate School of
Management at Cornell
University.
"It's hard to leave the
Lehigh environment," said
Schmotter. "There are few
places in American higher
education where undergraduate education is taken more
seriously and there's probably
no place with more loyal or
enthusiastic students and
alumni. I think that both
Lehigh and the College of
Business and Economics are
well positioned to continue to
grow in reputation and quality,
and I know they will. Western
Michigan simply presented me
with a set of professional
opportunities that I couldn't
turn down."
Peter Likins, Lehigh
president, said, "Jim and his
gracious wife, Daphne, have
been important members of the
Lehigh community, not only
through Jim's service as dean
but in the larger affairs of the
university. They made their
Lehigh Valley home as residents of Taylor College for a
time, while Jim served as
faculty master of that residence hall, so many, Lehigh
students know them both in
personal ways."
Patti Ota, interim provost,
said, "I have enjoyed working
with Jim over the past five
years, and wish him the very
best in the next stage of his
career."
Likins and Ota held a
meeting of the college faculty
and staff Monday in Perella
Auditorium. A congratulatory
send-off will be planned in
which all of Schmotter's
colleagues will have the
opportunity to thank him for
his service to Lehigh.

Thomas H. Kean, former governor of NJ,
to give commencement address June 1
Thomas H. Kean, former governor of New Jersey and current
president of Drew University, will
give the commencement
speech at
Lehigh's spring
graduation
exercises on
Sunday, June 1.
"I have been
eager to engage
Tom Kean as our
commencement
speaker since he was governor of
New Jersey, and I'm elated that the
senior class officers have decided to
Kean
invite him this year, when his son
Reed is graduating," said Peter
Likins, university president. "He is
an exceptional man, both as a public
figure and as a private citizen, and I
will be very proud to introduce him."
Senior class officers work with
Likins to select the spring commencement speaker.
"Tom Kean has demonstrated his"
commitment to the community
through his very successful role as
the former governor of New Jersey
and his commitment to education
through his current role as president of Drew University," said John
J. Franchini, president of the
senior class. "In view of Lehigh's
strong tradition of alumni support
and family atmosphere, it is an
honor to once again have a parent of
a graduate deliver the keynote
address." Franchini, a native of
Williamstown, N.J.. will receive a
bachelor's degree in political science
at commencement.
Kean's son, Reed Kean, will
receive a bachelor's degree in
marketing at the June graduation.
Before returning to Lehigh to
complete his degree, he was a
stockbroker with Prudential Securi-
