Ann Clark

Executive Vice President & Provost

How grateful I am to be part of the Goodwin College experience! Helping our students improve their lives is a most rewarding way to spend one's days.

Todd Andrews

Vice President, College Relations & Advancement
Employee since: 2005

Working on the Goodwin College team has allowed me wonderful opportunities to achieve my goals both professionally and personally. That is what Goodwin College is all about for our students as well. Like many of our students, I had to overcome many barriers to higher education, taking a non-traditional route to college and working my way through school. I am proud to be in a position to affect the future of the school and our students through fundraising for academic programs, scholarships and new facilities. Goodwin College is having a profound effect on our East Hartford community, revitalizing a once deteriorated part of the town and turning it into a jewel. Our students have the same impact on their families and communities with their Goodwin College education.

Jerry Emlet

Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer
Employee since: 2006

Goodwin College considers it our duty, as leaders in the community and mentors to encourage our students to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist.

Janet Jefford

Vice President, Institutional Effectiveness
Employee since: 1998

I am so fortunate to be a part of the Goodwin story. Education opens up a world of possibilities. For our students it is the possibility of a bright future with a rewarding career. For our faculty and staff it is the possibility of changing lives through service. For the communities we serve, the possibilities are endless.

Daniel Noonan

Vice President, Enrollment

Goodwin College has facilitated positive change in the lives of thousands of students and graduates. What makes Goodwin so special, in my opinion, is the caring, compassionate approach of every College employee. We don't look at our role as a job but more as a mission. Our students entrust in us their time, talent and treasure. It is our responsibility to be good stewards of the Goodwin College Mission and assist our students in realizing their dream of completing their college degree and advancing in their career. Goodwin College creates positive change with our students every day. I am proud, honored and humbled to play a small role in the success of our students.

Judy Zimmerman

As the Dean of Goodwin College, I have the pleasure of providing opportunities for our students to pursue their passions and fulfill their dreams. It gives me great satisfaction to watch our students experience success as they graduate fully prepared to achieve both their career goals and their own personal life goals. The dedicated and passionate students that I work with daily are a testament to our college's mission, dedication and quality of education.
