It took one botched search and a lot more time than everyone thought, but Boise State finally has their man...er, woman. This afternoon, BSU announced Bob Kustra’s successor, the 7th president in university history—Dr. Marlene Tromp. Tromp is a Wyoming native, but despite that notable setback (I kid) was able to rise to the level of campus provost and executive vice chancellor at the University of California at Santa Cruz. Prior to her role at UCSC, Tromp was the dean of Arizona State University’s Interdisciplinary College of Arts and Sciences and the vice provost of the university’s West Campus.
