President of North Central College since 1991, Harold R. (Hal) Wilde describes his
position as "the best job in the world ...to be the number one fan of an extraordinary
community of students, faculty and staff... and live on a historic campus in the heart of
one of America's finest cities.“

Deeply committed to the mission of the College, "a community of learners dedicated to
preparing informed, involved, principled and productive citizens and leaders over a
lifetime," Wilde's tenure has been marked by an eightfold increase in North Central's
endowment; continuous balanced budgets; the largest individual, corporate and
foundation gifts and bequests in the College's 149-year history (making possible ten
endowed faculty chairs and six "Ruge Fellows," a 400 percent rise in scholarship
support, major construction projects and significant campus expansion); 85 percent
growth in full-time undergraduate enrollments (from 1,290 to 2,400); adoption of the
College's first comprehensive new curriculum in 30 years; and a broadened commitment
to international programming, service-learning and interdisciplinary studies.

Under Wilde's leadership, significant changes in North Central's physical campus have
included total renovation of the College's oldest building, Old Main; four new residence
halls; two state-of-the-art stadiums, for football and track and for baseball; a new "cyber
cafe" for students and the community; a complete renovation of the building that houses
the College chapel; and the wiring of the entire campus for voice, video and data. The

government from Harvard University, Wilde, a native of Wisconsin, served several years
in Wisconsin state government, including four as that state's insurance commissioner. In
