Geoffroy has facilitated this smooth transfer and has been working closely with Dr. Leath, letting him know what’s going on, what to look for,” said Michael Owen, past president of Iowa State’s Faculty Senate. Leath said he is not nervous to take over the position and said that he is “excited about the whole opportunity” as he prepares to follow Geoffroy, who has been president of the university since July 1, 2001. “I think the next 10 to 20 years are going to be a great time for land-grant universities,” Leath said. “The public is wanting more from their universities to supply solutions to problems ... the good land grants like Iowa State are poised to do more things and great things over the next 10 years, and that’s what really excites me about the opportunity.” Leath said the ISU community should not “fear any giant overhaul the first few days.” “Iowa State is a great university,” Leath said. “There is nothing seriously broken there, so there’s no reason to be overly concerned with new leadership coming in wanting to change some things.” The Iowa State University Strategic Plan from 2010 to 2015 outlines the goals for the mis- sion, vision and priorities to “ensure that Iowa State University is a leading research university.” Leath has stated that he is “not as big a fan of strategic plans as some people,” but is “far more concerned of the implementation phase to get us where we need to go.” “If you look at the strategic plan and read those primary goals, they’re all worthwhile, ad- mirable goals,” said Leath, who believes that by Photo: Huiling Wu/Iowa State Daily working closely with the deans of each college Future president Steven Leath visits with students during Dead Week at the Memorial Union.
