Two new college presidents were announced, signaling fresh leadership priorities around innovation, AI readiness, and workforce-connected learning. The University of Wyoming named Army brigadier general Shane Reeves as its next president. Reeves, currently chief academic officer at West Point, will step into the role in July after three decades in service, with an early focus on strengthening university-state connections and standing up an AI task force. North Dakota State University named Marshall Stewart as its next president. Stewart currently serves as Kansas State University’s executive vice president for external engagement and chief of staff, and NDSU said his agenda emphasizes student involvement, affordability, and workforce-linked learning. The appointments arrive as campuses continue to navigate AI adoption, enrollment pressure, and tighter public scrutiny of higher-education value.
