Stiver and his wife, Marta, will become the first retirees selected as co-principals for the University's only residential college.
"Jim was a very successful undergraduate teacher and associate dean of the Honors College, and we're very pleased to have him back at the University in this important role," said Karl Heider, associate provost and dean of undergraduate studies.
"The reason I decided to apply was that I realized how much I missed the University, the students, the faculty, and the rhythms of academic life," Stiver said. "The more we looked into Preston College, the more interested we became.
"I'm interested in trying to foster more student-faculty interaction and, hopefully, entice more Preston residents to stay at Preston beyond their sophomore years."
The Stivers replace mathematics professor Matt Miller who served as interim principal for the fall semester.
