A HOME IN ACADEME
Joseph Saliba (above), a longtime fixture at the University of Dayton as a graduate student, engineering professor, and dean, is the institution's new provost. His loyalty to the university stems from his start there as a young Lebanese immigrant in the 1970s, when he could barely speak English, and professors nurtured him anyway. He has likened the campus to the village he hails from in Lebanon. As provost, Mr. Saliba returned to that country recently with the college's president to meet with alumni and seek new students.
