Show Tuesday, June 25, 1985 Weber State College Vol. 45, No. 58 Seepage 7 Nadauld named as pres by Kevin Carrillo Summer Editor Dr. Stephen D. Nadauld has been selected as the eighth president of Weber State by the Utah State Board of Regents. The announcement came Friday at the Regent's monthly meeting which was held at Weber. Nadauld will replace Dr. Rodney H. Brady, who resigned to accept the position of president at Bonneville International Corporation. Brady will step down on June 30. Nadauld is currently the chief executive officer for the Intermountain Milk Producers, headquartered in Provo. He became CEO at what was then Western General Dairies in 1983. Before joining Intermountain Milk Producers, he served as director of the MBA program at BYU and associate professor of finance at BYU. He was also an instructor of finance at Berkeley and the University of Utah. Nadauld received a B.A. from BYU in 1967, an MBA from Harvard in 1969, and a Ph.D in Finance, Economics and Organizational Theory from Berkeley in 1978. He was named "Outstanding Teacher of the Year" at the Berkeley School of Business and the "Outstanding Professor" of the second year MBA program at BYU. According to Dr. Nadauld, our greatest natural resource is the youth of today. He said he decided to accept the position at Weber because he loves young people and the academic tradition. "In the last 10 or 15 years, we have neglected great teaching. It is difficult to be all things to all people, so what we do, we will do well," he said. He also stated that one of his chief goals is to maintain Weber State as one of the top undergraduate teaching colleges in the nation. More than 100 applicants were considered by the Board of Regents search committee. 5 finalists were interviewed and screened by the committee Thursday evening. Roy C. Nelson, member of the Board of Regents, said a vote was taken by the search commitee that any of the finalists would be qualified to be the new president. "All considered were good candidates," said Nelson. Kem Gardner, chairman of the Regents said the board was looking for someone who understood the role of Weber State as an undergraduate teaching institution. He said the board was impressed with Dr. Nadauld's strong academic background as well as his successful administrative experience. According to Brady, one of the main problems that will face his successor will be stretching the budget to meet the needs of the campus. "Weber has the challenge of trying to do more with fewer resources. We have more students now than we did 7 years ago," said Brady. He said he feels that during his time as president of the college there has been an improvement of the product by giving more student credit hours with less money. Nadauld identified his main challenge as president of Weber to be maintaining high education levels. "There is a challenge in education today to keep qualified teachers," he said. Naduald will become president of the college on August 1. Until then, Dr. Robert Smith, vice president of academic affairs, will serve as acting president. I i'-r I i -1 s Dr. Stephen D.
