As the new president of Nichols College, I am happy to welcome new and returning students to campus and look forward to ensuring that Nichols continues to offer a progressive and meaningful business education.

My own welcome here has been warm and generous, and I have enjoyed beginning my Nichols education – meeting students, alumni, faculty, staff and the local community, who are helping to immerse me in the Nichols culture to make my transition smooth and productive.

The start of a new academic year is always exciting for me, but my first at Nichols promises opportunities to expand not only the Nichols mission but my own personal and professional horizons. Leading Nichols into its third century of transforming students into business professionals will be a challenging, rewarding – and no doubt, transformational – experience for me as well.

I invite comments on your own Nichols experience and input on how we can all keep Nichols strong and vital.
