Congratulations again Robin! This has been terrific news, and how fortunate for Hiwassee College. Your transformational leadership, and outstanding experience will quickly be felt by everyone at the college.

Dr. Robin Tricoli will be a wonderful asset to Hiwassee College. Her warmth, personality, and energy along with her extensive background in strategic planning, budgeting, service learning, and institutional governance will take the college to new heights. She has worked closely with the presidents at both California State University, Fresno, and at Northern Kentucky University, serving as the Chief of Staff at the latter. Recently, she was responsible for evaluating the status of goals and accomplishments under the University of Georgia’s ten-year strategic plan. Congratulations, Dr. Tricoli and congratulations Hiwassee College!
Congratulations, Robin! Your can-do-attitude is exactly what Hiwassee College (and every other college) needs. I look forward to watching the enrollment at Hiwassee grow under your leadership. Best, Beth
I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Robin Tricoli at a conference. Her graciousness, intelligence, and experience will serve her well as president of Hiwassee College. After she shared her ideas about higher education, many of us were left wondering how Atlanta ever let her get away. Georgia’s loss and Tennessee’s gain! Congratulations, Dr.Tricoli.
Congratulations Robin! What an asset you will be for Hiwassee College. I am so excited for you…best wishes!
I first met Dr. Robin Tricoli at some higher education meetings and gatherings in Georgia. Her extensive background in strategic planning, governance, community relations, and budgeting only enhance her talents as a dynamic leader. She will do great things for Hiwassee College and Tennessee. Congratulations Dr. Tricoli!
Congratulations to you! The college is getting a great asset! Best wishes.
Dr. Robin Tricoli, like her husaband Dr. Anthony Tricoli (president of Georgia Perimeter College in Atlanta, GA) is a true visionary. But unlike most other visionaries, she gets the job done-just like her husband Anthony does!
Both of the Dr’s Tricoli are out-of-the-box thinkers and that’s what makes them so desirable in higher education today. I know them both, and they are perhaps among the top two or three of our nations’ powerhouse education couples. Georgia and Tennessee have no idea how lucky they are. We are still crying in our soup about their loss from California, and I’d bet that Kentucky is feeling the same.
Congratulations to Dr. Robin Tricoli and to Hiwassee College.
