CONCORD, NH – The New Hampshire College & University Council (NHCUC) board of directors and Education Alliance for New Hampshire board of directors have appointed Mica Stark as the organization’s new president and chief executive officer. Stark will also serve as executive director of the Education Alliance for New Hampshire (EANH), formerly known as Campus Compact for New Hampshire. Together, these organizations work to advance higher education in New Hampshire and expand educational opportunities for hundreds of thousands of students across the state.
“We are thrilled to announce Mica Stark as the next leader of the NHCUC and the Education Alliance following a competitive national search,” said Melinda Treadwell, president of Keene State College and chair of the NHCUC board of directors. “Mica’s extensive experience in higher education and public affairs, combined with his deep understanding of New Hampshire’s unique needs, stood out during the selection process. Higher education is crucial to our state’s communities and economy, and we are excited to have Mica at the helm to advocate for these institutions, forge new partnerships and champion higher education in the state.”
A New Hampshire native, Stark brings more than 20 years of experience in higher education. He has previously worked at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College, where he developed and managed civic engagement programs, and at the University of New Hampshire, where he led communications, public affairs, and government relations. Most recently, Stark served as senior vice president at Brodeur Partners, where he helped grow and support the agency’s higher education and nonprofit clientele.
“I am honored to be appointed president of the NHCUC,” said Stark. “I am passionate about the role higher education plays in changing lives, solving complex problems through innovation and research and fueling economic growth. With the talented staff at the NHCUC and the Education Alliance for New Hampshire, I look forward to working with our state’s colleges and universities to build stronger partnerships with the business and nonprofit sectors and to create more opportunities to attract, educate and retain talent for New Hampshire.”
Stark holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of New Hampshire and a master’s degree from Michigan State University. He resides in Durham with his wife and two sons.
CCNH and its member colleges and universities work with communities throughout New Hampshire to meet pressing needs, from education opportunity to economic development. By promoting community-engaged teaching and learning, we also help prepare students to succeed in school and in the workplace.
