The Neumann University Board of Trustees has announced that Dr. Chris E. Domes, current president of Silver Lake College in Manitowoc, Wisc., has been named the sixth president of Neumann University.

He will take office on July 1.

His appointment ends a seven-month search for the successor to Dr. Rosalie M. Mirenda, who announced last August that she would retire at the end of the current academic year. Mirenda has been Neumann’s president for 21 years, and has served in various capacities at the university for 44 years.

“Dr. Domes has an impressive record of accomplishment that spans 31 years in higher education,” said IABCN Board member, James Delaney, chairperson of the Neumann University Board of Trustees. “He has led initiatives in strategic planning, fundraising, academic program expansion, enrollment management, community relations, technology access, and campus growth.

“But most of all, he is a proponent of Catholic Franciscan education.”
