John Zacharis was the 10th president of Emerson College. Like Presidents Southwick, Ross and Rolfe before him,
John Zacharis assumed the presidency of Emerson College with the benefit of a long prior association with the
institution. Zacharis was a student, a faculty member, a department chair, the Academic Dean and the
Senior Vice President prior to becoming President in 1990. In a period of just two short years,
President Zacharis restored unity to a campus divided over the prospect of the move and, with the purchase of
180 Tremont Street, laid the groundwork for the Campus on the Common. [PR663-11]
