Chancellor Paul Risser was pleased with the appointment of Anthony to the office of the State Regents. “Bob has a terrific combination of skills that will lend themselves well to the new challenges he has accepted. He has experience in the public and private sectors and a good grasp of the issues that affect our institutions and our students.”
