We are proud to announce the appointment of Monica Bradley as Interim Chief Human Resources Officer for the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH).
Congratulations to Monica who shared, “Words fail to express the excitement about joining Dr. Susan Huard and the dynamic Leadership Team at the Community College System of New Hampshire. They are a team committed to implementing a comprehensive compensation structure that is consistent and transparent for all employees. Creating an environment where everyone is valued, respected and empowered to do their best work is one of the primary goals of the compensation study.

Congratulations to Sal Liberto on his placement as Interim Dean of Admission and Financial Aid at Olin College of Engineering. This role marks his sixth interim placement with The Registry.
"The Registry has stated this well: 'we exist in an era of relentless change.' The most successful people do more than accept this fact, they rise to the challenge of it. In this spirit, I am very happy to have been placed by The Registry at Olin College of Engineering as Interim Dean of Admission and Financial Aid. Since its inception, Olin has led the way in engineering education. Olin always asks the hard questions and always leans into innovation. Change is sometimes uncomfortable, as Olin says in its value statement, but it is also essential. This is my sixth placement with The Registry and I am honored to be a part of their team, an indelible imprint of change and stability in American higher education."
A heartfelt congratulations to Greg Paveza on his placement as the Interim Dean of Health Careers at Oakton College! Wishing you all the best.
“The opportunity to serve Oakton College as Interim Dean of Health Careers has been an exciting placement. Working with faculty, consultants, community advisory groups and other administrators we moved three new AAS programs to program completion, faculty review and board acceptance. We were able to on-board several new faculty, improve the functioning of one of our practice labs and develop new community partnerships.”
