President of Wabash College
On July 1, 2014, Hess was inaugurated as the next president of the college, following the departure of Patrick E. White. Hess delivered his inaugural address, stating,
Our true academic mission — to liberally educate each and every student — is a timeless reminder of the lives we change here at Wabash College, one young man at a time. For while the problems facing higher education and the world are complex, the solutions need not be. Amidst the jostle and the fray and the haranguing static and noise that often surround our academic endeavor, stands our foundation: the simple gifts of the liberal arts. These profound gifts — the ability to act, to see, and to speak — are the bedrock that underpin teaching and learning at Wabash College.
Hess proposed a strategic planning process and in doing so created four new co-curricular initiatives called Liberal Arts Plus: Wabash Democracy and Public Discourse initiative, Global Health Initiative, Center for Innovation, Business, and Entrepreneurship, and Digital Arts and Human Values. Hess formalized an agreement between Wabash and Universidad Nacional Hermilio Valdizan on future health research and projects. Hess also went on to create a campus master planning process that will guide capital works projects at the college and join the Board of Directors of the Montgomery County Economic Development Council.
On November 4, 2013, Hess joined the Freedom Indiana coalition in opposition to Indiana HJR-3 with DePauw University President Brian Casey.
On April 1, 2014, the college drew national attention under Hess's leadership as it achieved the largest single day of philanthropy in the college's history. Wabash received 2,329 gifts from 2,214 unique donors generating $465,421. On September 17, 2014, Hess organized and hosted Celebrating the Liberal Arts, a national conference which highlighted the work of the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts at Wabash College and the results of the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education.
