QCC's Sixth President, Dr. Luis G. Pedraja
On Friday, April 13, 2018 Quinsigamond Community College will hold the inauguration of its sixth President, Dr. Luis G. Pedraja. The event will take place in the Hebert Auditorium on QCC’s main campus.
Dr. Pedraja advocates passionately for increased access to higher education for all people, especially those who have been underserved historically by the American higher education system. As a child, he emigrated from Cuba and grew up in a low-income Miami neighborhood. He became the first in his family to attend college, receiving his BA from Stetson University in Florida. He later earned a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in Philosophical Theology and Religious Studies.
As QCC’s new president, Dr. Pedraja provides leadership to the college community and is working to enhance the mission of QCC to address higher education needs, economic development and community engagement.
A link to the livestreamed event will also be available during the inauguration. Visit the inauguration page for more information.
