SAIC Names New President
The School of the Art Institute (SAIC) announced that its fourth president will be Wellington "Duke" Reiter, an internationally recognized architect and artist who has taught at MIT and Harvard. Also in the "not too shabby" department, his urban drawings are in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and San Francisco MOMA. School spokespeople say that Reiter's appointment will strengthen the SAIC's attempts to reach across all disciplines -- and keep making waves nationally and internationally.
