Closing Remark

 

Nancy Carriuolo appointed new president of RIC

Carriuolo, deputy commissioner and chief academic officer at the Office of Higher Education, has served as interim vice president for academic affairs at Rhode Island College since May 2007

Nancy Carriuolo, RIC’s interim vice president for academic affairs, was selected by the Rhode Island Board of Governors for Higher Education as the College’s ninth president. Carriuolo will succeed John Nazarian, who is retiring on June 30 after 18 years as president of the college.

“Nancy Carriuolo was, without question, the most outstanding candidate to be the next president of Rhode Island College,” said Judge Frank Caprio, chairman of the Board of Governors for Higher Education. “Her extensive higher education experience, including her work with the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, with the University of New Haven and here in Rhode Island at the Office of Higher Education, makes her extremely well qualified for the position. She knows the College and the system well, and is uniquely positioned to build on the excellent work of President Nazarian in moving Rhode Island College forward. The board is confident we have chosen wisely. We pledge our support to her and we wish her every success.”
