Sister Named As Interim President of OLLU

? Our Lady of the Lake University today returned to its roots, naming the former Superior General of the Congregation of Divine Providence to be Interim President, succeeding Tessa Martinez Pollack, who resigned last week.

?

? Sister Jane Slater has a long history at OLLU, she is a former chemistry professor, dean of faculty, and chairperson of the Academic Affairs Committee.

?

? She is also a former Superior General of the Congregation.

?

? "I am pleased that Sister Jane Ann has accepted the important charge to lead the University during this transitional period, Roy Terracina, chairman of the OLLU Board of Trustees, said.? "Her membership in our sponsoring order and long history with the University will allow a seamless transition and make it possible for the University to move forward rapidly with its Strategic Plan."

?

? One of the complaints against Martinez Pollack was her alleged downplaying of religion and religious studies.

?

? "Our Lady of the Lake University is a distinctive institution of higher education in San Antonio and South Texas" Slater said.? "The work we do transforms the lives of our undergraduates and graduate students, many of whom are first generation college students."

?

? Slater is a respected scientist, with a PhD in inorganic chemistry.

?

? She will serve until a permanent President is selected, a process which will take several months.
