Dr. Michael Hutmaker, dean of student affairs at the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC), part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, was recently selected to fill the position of vice president of student affairs at Wor-Wic Community College.
Hutmaker received his bachelor’s degree from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J., a master’s degree from Clemson University in South Carolina and a doctorate of education from St. John’s University in Queens, N.Y. Hutmaker has more than 30 years of experience in higher education. At BMCC, he worked to create partnerships with New York University, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, State Farm and various foundations to provide unique opportunities for students normally afforded to four-year schools.
“He has an outstanding record of significant accomplishments throughout his career,” said Deborah Casey, Ph.D., president of Wor-Wic. “His background and experience will be an asset to Wor-Wic, and his ethos of putting students first makes him a natural fit to support Wor-Wic’s mission. I’m excited to welcome Dr. Hutmaker to the dolphin family.”
At Wor-Wic, Hutmaker will oversee a range of departments dedicated to student access and success.
