RENO - Marc Johnson is now officially the 16th president of the University of Nevada, Reno, after his inauguration Friday.

He was appointed on an interim basis to the post following the death of Milton Glick in April 2011.

After a nationwide search, the Board of Regents named him president.

The Reno Gazette-Journal reported Johnson, 64, paid tribute to Glick, who brought him to campus as provost in 2008. He said he was humbled by the significance of his inauguration and pledged to continue Glick's legacy by emphasizing the "student experience."

He also said he'll work to strengthen the university's research programs and role in the community.

Former UNR Presidents Joe Crowley and John Lilley attended Friday's ceremony.
