Civil Service Commissioner Lola Brabham is departing to lead the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities in New York, the group announced Monday morning.
Brabham becomes the first person of color to lead the organization, which advocates on behalf of private colleges and universities in the state.
“It is my distinct honor to be selected as the next President of the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities, Brabham said. New York’s independent colleges and universities and their students are essential to our state’s higher education landscape and play a vital role in our state’s communities and economy. I am eager to continue the organization’s vital work and to further CICU’s mission of advancing quality education for all students.
