January 16, 2014

Touro University California graciously welcomed Shelley Berkley, the new CEO and Senior Provost of Touro’s Western Division, to the campus on January 13th, where faculty, staff, students, and community members had an opportunity to meet the former Nevada Congresswoman. 

Dr. Alan Kadish, President of the Touro College and University System, together with Dr. Marilyn Hopkins, COO and Provost of TUC, led the introductions during a mid-day meeting inside Lander Hall A. 

During Berkley’s speech, she expressed her views on Touro and her expectation of the California campus. 

“Touro is a very well-kept secret and I plan on changing that,” Berkley said. “With outstanding faculty and deans committed to delivering the best education and with talented students anxious to learn and serve, we can achieve greatness in making Touro a household name.” 

Berkley will oversee both the California and Nevada campuses, spending two days a week on Mare Island.
