New academic leadership has been appointed at Hudson Valley Community College.

Judith DiLorenzo was appointed Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs by President Ramsammy at the Board of Trustees meeting on April 30, according to Executive Director of Communications and Marketing, Dennis Kennedy.

Dr. MaryAnn Janosik, who held the position of Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs since October 2017, unexpectedly resigned earlier the same night.

Previous to her recent appointment, DiLorenzo, a faculty member since 1993, was chair of the Dental Hygiene Department since 2000.

“I am honored to have been asked to serve the college,” DiLorenzo said. “Student success has consistently been my primary goal as an educator and my plan is to promote and support others in achieving this goal through my role as an academic leader.”

Associate Professor Tammy Conway was appointed as the new interim Dental Hygiene Department chair. Conway has been a faculty member since 1997.

The Automotive, Manufacturing and Electrical Engineering Technologies department also had a new department chair named at the meeting on Tuesday. Assistant Professor George Raneri of the Automotive Department was named department chair effective immediately.

With new leadership at Hudson Valley Community College, it remains to be seen what will happen in the fall.
