Dr. Dana Mohler-Faria, Bridgewater State University’s eleventh president, was the first in his family to attend college, the university’s first president of color, and the first Cape Verdean-American in the U.S. to lead a four-year institution. Before his presidency, Dr. Mohler-Faria served 11 years as Bridgewater State College’s vice president for administration and finance. He also held numerous senior roles at Mount Wachusett, Bristol,… Virtual Information: https://mbl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_A4oTe8MASKqgQ8ER54A_Kg. Event Type: Falmouth Forum.
