“Our Board of Trustees is a group of dedicated men and women who honor and uphold Hillsdale’s historic mission,” Chief Administrative Officer Rich Péwé said. “We are thrilled to have Pat take up the mantle of leadership as a dedicated friend of the College.”

“Chairman Brodbeck has provided years of wise guidance and strong leadership for the board and the College. We have full confidence that Pat will continue that legacy and help lead the College into the future,” Péwé continued.

Brodbeck, graduate of Hillsdale’s Class of ‘66, retired as chairman of the Board of Trustees, but continued to serve the college as chairman emeritus.

Sajak previously served as vice chairman of the Hillsdale College Board of Trustees since October of 2003.

Joining Sajak, Steve Van Andel, 1978 graduate and chairman of Amway, was hired as vice chairman. Van Andel graduated from Hillsdale College with a degree in economics and business administration in 1978.

Andel was the co-chair of the board of directors at Amway and served twice as chairman of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, where he is currently chairman of the Executive Committee.
