The trustees unanimously selected Dr. Benitez to succeed Eugene J. Cornacchia, Ph.D., who is retiring in June after 17 years as president. The seven-month national search was conducted by a 16-member presidential search committee comprised of trustees, student leadership, faculty, staff, and academic and administrative leaders, as well as the external higher education community.

Dr. Benitez has most recently served as president and chief executive officer of American International College (AIC) in Springfield, MA and has significant experience with public, private and Jesuit higher education institutions.

鈥淲ith his outstanding academic credentials, considerable experience and dynamic leadership, the Board and I are confident that Dr. Benitez will not only steer the University toward continued success in its next chapter, but also be a strong advocate for our students and champion for our faculty,鈥� said Kenneth Moore, CFA 鈥�91, chair of the SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚 University Board of Trustees. 鈥淲e were all deeply impressed with his Jesuit values of service and cura personalis as well as his personal commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. We are certain he is the right person to lead our institution forward, and we welcome Dr. Benitez to SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚 University.鈥澨�

鈥淚 want to thank the Board of Trustees for the distinction of being appointed president of SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚 University. As a person spiritually rooted in the Catholic faith, with personal values that align with those of Jesuit education and traditions, I feel blessed to be returning to Jesuit higher education and joining the SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚 community. As we begin this journey together, I look forward to working with the faculty and staff of the University, as we collectively continue to build the future of this great institution,鈥� said Dr. Benitez.

鈥淚 believe that today, more than ever, our nation needs more institutions like SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚, which educate the whole person, nurturing the personal, spiritual and professional needs of our students. With the people, resources and education the University offers, we are very well-positioned to continue to assist our diverse student body, as they enter the workforce, serve compassionately and make a difference in our communities. The possibilities at SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚 are endless,鈥� he continued.

Dr. Benitez has dedicated the last two decades of his career in higher education as an academic, administrator and faculty member, and had previously spent 15 years as a clinician. Prior to his appointment as president of AIC, Dr. Benitez served as vice president for strategic initiatives and academic innovation as well as acting chief inclusion officer at fellow Jesuit institution Rockhurst University and as president and chief executive officer for SA国际传媒 Luke鈥檚 College of Health Sciences. Over his career, he听 has also served in other executive leadership roles, including provost and chief academic officer, dean of health sciences, department chair and assistant dean, while also holding an academic rank at the associate professor level.

Dr. Benitez has significant experience in academic administration and leadership, strategic planning, academic program development, health sciences education and with institutional and programmatic accreditation. He serves as a peer reviewer for the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and has assisted academic institutions in the design and implementation of academic assessment and evaluation as well as with accreditation-related matters.

A native of Colombia, Dr. Benitez received his first doctoral degree in dentistry from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, a Jesuit, research-intensive institution of higher education in Latin America. Subsequently, Dr. Benitez completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Connecticut Health Sciences Center focused on education and research, and later earned a Ph.D. in higher education administration from SA国际传媒 Louis University. In addition, Dr. Benitez completed executive training through the Institute for Educational Management (IEM) at Harvard University Graduate School of Education, and the Executive Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business.

Added Moore, 鈥淚 am grateful for the tireless efforts of the Presidential Search Committee throughout this process as well as the assistance of our search firm –听 Isaacson, Miller –听 for their trusted guidance.鈥澨�

In March 2022, people across the country took notice of the Peacocks when the men鈥檚 basketball team made a historic and remarkable run to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament. While some fans were completely new to Peacock Nation, some supporters were faithful over the years. One example is National Political Correspondent for NBC News/MSNBC Steve Kornacki.听

on the TODAY Show when he covered the Sweet 16 teams. He shared that he got his Peacocks gear before the team鈥檚 March Madness run.听

Perhaps it was this affinity for SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚 that motivated him to accept an invitation to speak on campus this month.听

Ginger Gold Schnitzer, executive director of the Guarini Institute for Government and Leadership, was interested in developing a program that would shake things up and get students motivated to participate in a primary election.听

The Guarini Institute for Government and Leadership at SA国际传媒 Peter’s University was established in 1994 to be a forum for the thoughtful discussion and analysis of key public policy issues, be a bridge between classroom learning and real world politics, and to promote civic engagement.听

鈥淭he presidential primary season is a great opportunity to focus on voter education and participation,鈥� explained Schnitzer. 鈥淚 believe that many of our students don鈥檛 yet feel part of this important season in our national politics. In my mind, there was no one better than Steve Kornacki to excite and encourage them.鈥澨�

Schnitzer was thrilled when he accepted the invitation. 鈥淚 knew his energy and engaging style was exactly what we needed to heighten our campus鈥� interest in, and understanding of, the presidential primary season.鈥�

Schnitzer鈥檚 intuition was right! The event was extremely well-attended with an engaged audience of students, faculty, administrators, local media and community members.听

The covered the content of his talk in great detail, particularly Kornacki鈥檚 focus on polling data that has been observed this election season.听

Before Kornacki left campus, the SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚 community sent Kornacki on his way with an Elite Eight basketball, a brand new SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚 hoodie and an open invitation to come back to campus anytime.听听听

鈥淭he PSSG grant enables SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚 University to implement evidence-based strategies to improve student outcomes while also contributing to the national research on best practices and initiatives that advance student retention and completion of postsecondary students,鈥� said Frederick Bonato, Ph.D., executive vice president and provost at SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚 University.

The PODS project implements three strategies to reach its goals. These strategies include:

• An advising model. The new team-based retention model includes a professional advisor, faculty mentor and financial coach who will work collaboratively to support each SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚 student. This model will enable SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚 to more effectively and holistically address non-academic needs and will position faculty as mentors who can establish personal relationships with the students they advise.
• Increased training on and an expansion of the University鈥檚 retention-data platform. SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚 currently utilizes a student-success and retention platform, which enables faculty and staff to monitor students鈥� academic performance, provide early alerts, share information to increase student support and coordinate resources when help is needed. Through PODS, the University will hire a dedicated retention data specialist and expand professional development to support more faculty and staff to use the platform in order to determine more data-informed, targeted and effective retention interventions.
• The establishment of a Male Resource Center. A Male Resource Center (MRC) will be established within SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚 Center for Academic Success and Engagement (CASE). The Center is designed to increase academic, social and cultural support for male students. The MRC will accelerate institutional efforts to improve the academic achievement and postsecondary outcomes for male students.

“This grant is a testament to our commitment to student success, providing holistic support through innovative strategies,鈥� said Eugene J. Cornacchia, Ph.D., president of SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚 University. 鈥淚 would like to congratulate and thank the team that led the development of this transformational project and also express my gratitude to all who will be involved in its successful implementation.鈥�

According to the U.S. Department of Education, the Postsecondary Student Success Grant (PSSG) Program is a grant program designed to equitably improve postsecondary student outcomes, including retention, transfer (including successful transfer of completed credits), credit accumulation, and completion, by leveraging data and implementing, scaling and rigorously evaluating evidence-based activities to support data-driven decisions and actions by institutional leaders committed to inclusive student success.
