MARGARET DRUGOVICH

MARGARET DRUGOVICH, Hartwick College president, has been elected vice chair of the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities (CICU). The CICU held the election during a recent organizational board meeting, which also included the election of a new board chair and seven trustees. The vice-chair position has a one-year term, but the CICU board has the option to renew the term. Drugovich takes over after serving as CICU treasurer and chair of its finance and administrative committee. She succeeds Adelphi University President Chris Riordan, who was named the CICU’s new board chair. As vice chair, Drugovich is a member of the CICU executive committee and works with the chair to provide “oversight, guidance, and policy direction” for the organization, which says it serves as the “collective voice” for private, nonprofit higher education in New York state. She will preside over all CICU board meetings in the absence of the board chair.
