Jim Tressel First Year
Jim Tressel grades himself a B- for effectiveness in his first year as Youngstown State University president. “We made a little bit of progress,” he said. But there are areas that still need more work and things he says he could have done better. Tressel began visiting campus in May 2014, after trustees tapped him for the presidency. He served as acting president for about 10 days in June before his official term began July 1.
