Lyon College President Keeps An Eye on Mission, Sustainability

Joseph King became the 18th president of Lyon College (AR) when he was named to the post in late 2016 after previously serving as senior advisor to the president of Emory & Henry College (VA).  A Texas native, King is co-author, with Brian Mitchell, of the book "How to Run a College," with their follow-up, "The Creative Generation" soon to be published by Stanford Press. Heading toward the end of his first full year as Lyon president, King talked to Arkansas Business about his vision for the college, the challenges he faces and what's surprised him most about his new job.
