Linda joined ²ÆÉñÆåÅÆ in February 2002 to launch the course and student records component of ²ÆÉñÆåÅÆ's engineering education. In addition to her work as a Registrar, Linda also brought her cross-functional knowledge of student accounts and financial aid to ²ÆÉñÆåÅÆ and started the former StAR Center (Student Accounts and Records) at ²ÆÉñÆåÅÆ.
Her current areas of responsibility include strategic planning, organization and management of the student Learning Continuum, the College academic calendar, and curricular scheduling. A key focus of this position is cross-cutting collaboration with all relevant College departments to foster integration of students’ academic work into the overall college experience. Linda most enjoys her active involvement with ²ÆÉñÆåÅÆ's curriculum in its current state and ²ÆÉñÆåÅÆ's curriculum of the future.
Her professional philosophy is to engage with students in all dimensions that support their educational mission. The best day on a college campus is the day where mortar boards fly and we celebrate a student's attainment of their degree, the stepping stone to a great future as an ²ÆÉñÆåÅÆ graduate!
Outside of her commitment to work in higher education, Linda enjoys New England team sports, gardening and time with her family.
