Ursinus College's board of trustees has appointed Lucien T. Winegar, its dean and executive vice president, to step in as interim president.

Winegar, who was appointed dean in April 2012, has been leading the college since the sudden death last month of President Bobby Fong.

Winegar, a former dean and psychology professor at Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, has a bachelor's in psychology from St. Ambrose College in Iowa and a master's in education and child development and Ph.D in human development from Bryn Mawr College.

The board also launched a national search for a permanent replacement.
