Good news from Wheaton College! Dr. Philip Graham Ryken has been selected to lead Wheaton College into its next chapter. This appointment ought to be cause for thanksgiving to God, not least because Wheaton College is in need of strong, faithful evangelical leadership if she is going to avoid institutional shipwreck. Hit the title of this post for the link to Wheaton's website announcement of this selection. See below for this same announcement from Wheaton.

Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I am pleased to announce the selection of Dr. Philip Graham Ryken '88 as the eighth president of Wheaton College.
On the evening of Friday, February 19, the Board of Trustees voted to ratify Dr. Ryken's nomination by the Presidential Selection Committee. The unanimous vote reflects our deep confidence in Dr. Ryken's ability to articulate and exemplify the College's mission, and our conviction that he will provide strong academic and Christ-centered leadership for this new chapter in the life of Wheaton College, as well as in the academy at large.
Dr. Ryken readily affirms the College motto and mission not only through his words, but also in the way he has lived his life as an academic, a pastor, and a man dedicated to his family. We are indeed grateful to the Lord for His call on Dr. Ryken's life, and for His provision of a president who will hold the preeminence of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom above all else as he becomes integral to the future of Wheaton College.
Sincerely yours,
David K. Gieser
Chairman
Board of Trustees
