On June 29, I informed our faculty and staff that I will retire on August 31, 2018 after 13 years as president of the college and a career in higher education spanning four decades. As you know, Hudson Valley Community College is an incredibly special place, and it’s been my privilege to serve this institution, and especially all of you, our students.
The college is very well positioned for the future, and sharing my retirement plans now provides ample time for a national search and our leadership transition at the college. During the remainder of my time at the college, I will stay focused on enhancing the student experience by driving process and technology improvements.
Beginning my higher education at a community college had a major influence on my career path. Capping my career at Hudson Valley, one of the most productive community colleges in the nation, is a fitting closing chapter. I look forward to enjoying more time with family during my retirement, but Hudson Valley Community College will always be in my heart.
Drew Matonak, President
