Colby president tapped to lead National Endowment for the Humanities
President Barack Obama has nominated Colby College President William “Bro” Adams to lead the National Endowment for the Humanities, one of the largest funders of humanities programs in the country.
The college said in a statement Thursday that Adams’ appointment to lead the national organization must be confirmed in the U.S. Senate. Adams announced his resignation last year and will be succeeded by David Greene, an executive vice president at the University of Chicago, who starts July 1.
If Adams is confirmed before his expected last day of May 31, the college said Lori Kletzer, vice president for academic affairs, will take up the president’s duties in the interim.
