UI trustees name Ikenberry as interim president

URBANA – Stanley Ikenberry has never really left the University of Illinois.

As he said on Saturday – his first official day as interim president-designate, a job which will entail working with current President B. Joseph White before White's resignation takes effect at the end of the year – "I've had a love affair with the University of Illinois that started 30 years ago." And that love affair has never faded over the decades, he said.
