History

Roger Taylor is a Knox College graduate from 1963, as he will remind you at every speech he gives. He joined the Knox Board of Trustees in 1983 and served as board chair from 1999 - 2001. In February 2002, Roger Taylor was named president of Knox College after six months as interim president. He was formally installed on October 11, 2002. Since then, he has endeavored to chart a course towards financial impregnability.

If asked, he will also tell you how he met his wife. The story includes props, like the framed piece of paper he has in his office.

If you ask him about his relationship with the Emergency Broadcast System, he will deny everything.

He usually ask you to call him Roger. None of this Mr. President bizness. It's just Roger.
