Pfeiffer '69 named president of Warren Wilson College

Warren Wilson College in Asheville, North Carolina has named Dr. William Sanborn “Sandy” Pfeiffer ‘69 as their sixth president, effective in July.

Pfeiffer assumes the presidency of a liberal arts college that is singular in American higher education. One of only six work colleges nationwide, Warren Wilson is further distinguished by a pioneering service-learning program that calls upon students to do 100 hours of service as a graduation requirement. The college “triad” of academics, work and service is enhanced by strong international and environmental emphases.

Pfeiffer told the Asheville Citizen-Times,

…he’s committed to the college’s “triad” program of academics, [on-campus] work and community service.

“It’s what I did in college even though my school didn’t have these requirements, and I believe it provides the best education,” he said.
