Krepel working at Northern Illinois
After serving as president of Chadron State College for seven years, Dr. Tom Krepel is now assistant to the president at Northern Illinois University at DeKalb. Krepel began those duties Aug. 1.
In a story on the Northern Illinois Web site, the university president, John Peters, said he believes Krepel’s experience at Chadron State makes him an ideal fit for the new position.
“In the current funding climate, we have to ensure that every dollar we spend, every investment we make, is efficient and helps us achieve our educational and research goals,” Peters is quoted as saying. “Having a person of Dr. Krepel’s experience to coordinate activities will allow me to spend more time working with vice presidents to see that we meet that goal.”
Krepel is quoted, “I believe it is difficult to appreciate the scope and diversity of demands upon a university president unless he has served in that position. There are only so many hours in a day for John Peters, and I hope to relieve (him of) some of his workload.”
Krepel said the transition to his new post has been a smooth one. He and his wife, Carol, have twin sons. Both attended Chadron State last year. Patrick is now a sophomore at CSC while Philip has transferred to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
