President’s Welcome
It is my distinct honor to serve as President of Fairleigh Dickinson University. My FDU story began as an undergraduate student, and I was so fortunate to receive the personal, global and transformational impact of an FDU education during my time as a student. It is now my privilege to be able to lead this institution as we seek to provide a new generation of learners these very same transformational experiences.
At FDU we pride ourselves on our 80+ year history of meeting our students where they are, providing them educational opportunities on demand and affording them opportunities for personal growth, career prospects and a path toward upward social mobility. More than 140,000 of our alumni share this story of success, and I am honored to lead this institution forward as we continue to reimagine ways to provide this journey to a new generation of learners across their lifespan.
I look forward to working with our community — including faculty, staff, students, alumni and community partners — to create new opportunities for our institution to provide transformative educational pathways that impact the lives of our students, our communities and our world!
