5/10/2008

TIFFIN Heidelberg College has appointed its vice president for student affairs and dean of students as interim president, effective July 1.

James A. Troha was selected by the Board of Trustees yesterday to temporarily lead the college until a permanent replacement can be found for President F. Dominic Dottavio.

He announced last month that he has accepted the presidency at Tarleton State University in Texas. Mr. Dottavio, who begins his leadership of that university in August, has been Heidelberg s president since 2003.

Reetha Perananamgam, director of student activities and leadership development, will serve as interim vice president for student affairs.
