Christon Arthur has been named president of La Sierra University in Riverside.
Formerly the provost at Andrews University in Michigan, Arthur will be La Sierra’s sixth president, according to a statement on the university’s website.
Arthur is scheduled to take office July 1. He will replace Richard Osborn, who was appointed interim president last fall after Joy Fehr stepped down.
“What an exciting moment for La Sierra University,” said Bradford C. Newton, chair of the school’s board of trustees, in the statement. “Arthur’s breadth of experiences and insights into so many aspects of educational leadership are a perfect fit for La Sierra.”
During his six years as Andrews University’s provost, Arthur was responsible for a $70 million academic budget and an enrollment of about 10,000 students, according to the statement.
