New associate VP at CCRI to focus on academics

WARWICK – The Community College of Rhode Island has promoted veteran administrator Ron Schertz to associate vice president for student services, with a focus on increasing student retention and graduation rates.
Schertz will oversee college services and activities designed to encourage students to reach their full leadership potential while achieving academic and career success. Schertz will work with athletics, student life and other campus groups such as Access, an advising and counseling program for first-generation, low-income and disabled students.
“All of these programs deal with student achievement and have a relationship to their academic success,” Schertz said.
Schertz has worked at CCRI since 1976 and over the years has developed CCRI’s advising and counseling program and its testing center from the ground up. Before his recent promotion, he served as dean of student development and assessment. He has a doctorate in personality, theory and quantitative methods from the University of Connecticut.
