 <https://pmail.baruch.cuny.edu/PoliteMail/default.aspx?page=NVUJ3SFd2kqYv-SlXH6gSQ&ref_id=VB1PWF5RaUW5dXbL3gxIMw> 

College presidents engage with a broader group of stakeholders than leaders in most other organizations. Recognizing this complexity, along with their passion and dedication, College Cliffs named its “50 Top U.S. College and University Presidents.” Baruch’s President S. David Wu, PhD, made the list with the presidents from Arizona State, the University of Pennsylvania, Yale, and Rensselaer Polytechnic, among other prestigious institutions. College Cliffs praised President Wu’s “audacious and visionary leadership” and positive and proactive style.
