ITHACA — Ithaca College announced that its president, Shirley M. Collado, has been named to the Board of Trustees of the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities of New York (CICU).
CICU represents the public-policy interests of more than 100 private, not-for-profit colleges and universities in New York State and advocates for programs that help students access higher-education opportunities.
“As an innovator and expert on collaborations, President Collado will be an asset to our board,” CICU President Mary Beth Labate said in a news release. “Her commitment to increasing access, diversity, and equity in higher education aligns with CICU’s mission, and we look forward to adding her dynamic perspective to our board.”
The CICU board has 24 members, all chief executives of a member college or university. Collado will attend her first meeting with the group on May 2.
Collado has held a range of executive leadership positions during her 17 years in higher education. She served as executive vice chancellor and chief operating officer at Rutgers University-Newark and professor of psychology, dean and VP of student affairs at Middlebury College. Collado has also taught at George Mason University, Georgetown University, Lafayette College, the New School, and New York University.
Collado is a first-generation college graduate who received a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Vanderbilt and earned master’s and doctorate degrees in clinical psychology from Duke University.
