Lewis & Clark College has announced its next president and she's already making history.
Dr. Robin Holmes-Sullivan marks a lot of firsts.
She'll be the first woman, the first woman of color, and the first LGBTQ+ person to be president of the college in its 155-year history.
She's a clinical psychologist and currently the Dean of Students.
She'll take over in July when the current president retires.
"I do think it really important for our college as well. We talk all the time about living our values of diversity and inclusion and I think me being appointed to this role is a great way to show that the college is actually committed to that,” she said.
Holmes-Sullivan says she's passionate about helping students.
She's also excited to see what changes can be brought to the Portland area through the school.
