Knox College added a new member to its staff for the 2015-16 school year. As of August 17th, Knox College appointed Keith Archer the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer positions.
Archer made his way to Knox after working at a liberal arts college in Greencastle, Indiana.
He tells WGIL why he decided to pursue the open position at this particular school.
“Knox College is in a niche of the higher education market that I’m familiar with,” says Archer. “I’m from a small liberal arts college in Indiana called DePauw University and so the fit for me was just perfect. I believe in the mission of small liberal arts colleges and want to support that.”
Archer says having a decade of experience at DePauw prepared him to make this career move.
“Well I spent 10 years at DePauw. We’ve gone through similar challenges that every small liberal arts college in the country has gone through or is going through. So, I felt like I brought that expertise and that experience along with me.”
He says he is excited to work with everyone at Knox and looking forward to being a part of the historic institution.
