The term, which will run for three years, follows a one-year term on the council that Richardello served by a special appointment. Recently, Richardello attended the annual New England Regional Forum in Boston where she facilitated a workshop on Berkshire Compact's work, which focuses on getting young students on college campuses to raise their aspirations to attend college.

 

According to MCLA President Mary K. Grant, Richardello's association with the New England Regional Council of the College Board is a natural extension of her work at MCLA where she provides opportunities for students' success at the college and throughout New England.

 

"Denise has extensive experience in admissions and enrollment management," Grant said. "Her reputation and the relationships she has established in public higher education across the region will continue to serve the board well as it considers vital issues of student access and affordability."
