Hudson Valley Community College has named a new president. Michael Brophy was named the Troy institution's eighth president Tuesday by the State University of New York’s Board of Trustees.
Brophy currently serves as president of Hilbert College in Buffalo.
During his tenure, Brophy is credited with improving the school’s enrollment, keeping tuition below the national average, and eliminating the college's operating deficit.
Brophy also previously served as Dean of Enrollment at SUNY Canton and worked for Russell Sage College and the now-closed College of Saint Rose.
HVCC’s search for a new president came after previous president Roger Ramsammy was removed following an investigation into a sexual harassment complaint against him. Brophy will begin his tenure at HVCC August 1st.
