Steven Poskanzer, also known by his nickname of Stevie P.[1] is the 11th President of Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. Previously he was chief of staff to the president at the University of Chicago for four years, then spent 12 years at the State University of New York at New Paltz[2] where he served as President from 2001 until 2010, when he became Carleton's president.[3]

He has served as a Commissioner of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and on the boards of directors for Mid-Hudson Pattern for Progress, the Mohonk Mountain House, the Mohonk Preserve, and St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital.

Poskanzer began his academic career as a lawyer in the general counsel's office at the University of Pennsylvania, and his research activities have included academic freedom and other issues of higher education law. His book entitled Higher Education Law: The Faculty was published in 2002 by the Johns Hopkins University Press.[4][5]

He graduated cum laude from Princeton University in 1980, with a degree in International Relations, and went on to earn his J.D. from Harvard University in 1983.[6]
