Rockford University will formally install its newest president this week.
Eric Fulcomer was introduced as the university’s 18th president in February. At that time, he said one of his priorities was recruitment. Prior to his selection, Fulcomer was the school's Vice President of Enrollment Management.
Enrollment of full-time undergraduate students at Rockford University reached a record high this fall with 924 students.
The new president also has some municipal government experience: He is a former mayor of Bluffton, Ohio.
The inauguration will be Friday afternoon followed by a community reception.
