Dale City Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church issued the following announcement on May 26.
Ralph Trecartin has been selected by the Pacific Union College Board of Trustees to be the next president of Pacific Union College. He will begin his role as president on July 1, 2021, and will be the college’s twenty-fourth president in its 138-year history.
“Dr. Trecartin is joining the PUC family at a very important time,” said Bradford Newton, board chair and executive secretary of the Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. “The college has launched a new Vision for the future, and we believe Dr. Trecartin is the leader this school needs to move this plan forward.”
Trecartin currently serves as the associate provost and dean of the College of Professionals for Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan and has served in higher education for over 30 years. Trecartin received his Ph.D. in finance from Michigan State University’s Eli Broad College of Business, his MBA from Andrews University, and his bachelor’s degree in Theology at Atlantic Union College.
Prior to joining the administrative team at Andrews University, Trecartin spent 18 years in various academic and administrative roles at The College of Brockport, State University of New York. As executive director and then assistant provost of International Education at Brockport, he led a team that stabilized the program financially and left it a healthy, viable enterprise that continues strong today.
“Dr. Trecartin is an excellent choice for PUC,” said Milbert Mariano, PUC’s vice president for academic administration and academic dean. “His experience and leadership speak for themselves, and I look forward to working closely with him as we continue to shape PUC’s future.”
