PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — University of Western States (UWS), a national leader in chiropractic education and whole-person integrated health care, announces the appointment of Nathan Long, Ed.D., as president, effective October 1, 2024. Dr. Long, who has served as interim president since June, will continue to guide University of Western States, positioning the institution for continued growth and success.

“We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Nathan Long as the next president of University of Western States,” said Marlene Moore, Ph.D. Chair of the Board of Trustees for University of Western States. “Dr Long is a highly effective and strategic leader who has already made a significant impact on the university.

Dr. Long brings more than 25 years of experience in higher education and a track record of excellence in strategic planning, enrollment growth, and academic program development for institutions such as Saybrook University and The Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences.
