Eastern Michigan University President Samuel Kirkpatrick is serving up tacos today.
Kirkpatrick, who leads Michigans fifth largest university, will trade places with Eastern Michigan political science junior Angelina Hamilton for one day.
Kirkpatrick will attend Hamiltons classes starting at 9:30 a.m., fill in for part of her shift at Taco Bell, and serve dinner at Hamiltons Delta Zeta sorority house, Eastern Michigan spokesman Ward Mullens said.
But Hamilton, whose application was selected as the best one for the job, has a long day. The Lakewood, Ohio, native starts the day with a 6:45 a.m. TV interview and will attend functions and meetings until 8 p.m.
This is the second year the universitys president has swapped jobs with a student for the day. Mullens said it could become an annual event.
MSU officials were not available to comment about a possible switch at MSU.
Its pretty well-received, Mullens said. We have a lot of students interested in taking over campus for a day.
