Felician College is a liberal arts, co-educational, Catholic, Franciscan college located on two campuses in Lodi and Rutherford, New Jersey. The college has selected two women as the only finalists for the presidency of the institution. The candidate selected will replace Sister Theresa Mary Martin, who is stepping down this July.
Angela Durant is currently provost at Saint Xavier University in Chicago. She has held that post since July 2008. Previously, she was dean of the college of arts and sciences and academic associate to the provost at Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois. She has over 30 years of experience in higher education administration. She has held positions at National-Louis University, Aurora University, Fordham University, Fairleigh Dickinson University, and the University of Missouri.
Dr. Durant is a graduate of New Jersey City University. She holds master’s and doctoral degrees in sociology from Fordham University in The Bronx, New York.
Anne M. Prisco is vice president for enrollment management at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. She has held this position since 2006. Previously, she was vice provost at Hunter College, a campus of the City University of New York.
Dr. Prisco is a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Arizona. She holds an MBA from Fordham University and a master’s degree and a Ph.D. from Columbia University.
Both candidates are visiting Felician College this week.
Jennifer Gaither, a lawyer by training, has been a Sullivan University faculty member for the past 25 years. She most recently served as the university's associate provost.
Dr. Crowley has served as provost at Ohio Wesleyan University since 2020. She is slated to become the nineteenth president of Kalamazoo College on July 1.
The three women named to provost positions are Nancy Marchand-Martella at the University of Northern Colorado, Lise Youngblade at Colorado State University, and Randi Storch at Western Oregon University.
Although it was initially founded as school for women, the University of Montevallo has never had a woman president. Now the university has reached a historic milestone and selected selected Michelle R. Johnston to serve as its next president.
The selected candidate should have expertise and experience in theoretical models in labor and public economics as well as in microeconometrics and programming.
