President’s Office
Since becoming the president of Monroe University in January 2017, Marc Jerome has focused on leading the institution forward as a national leader in educating first generation, urban, and international students.
His vision for increasing college access, affordability, and attainment, especially for local New York students, has resulted in a number of pioneering programs that enable over a thousand local students – including more than 100 Dreamers – to earn a private college education with no student debt.
President Jerome is a relentless advocate for sound public policies that result in excellent outcomes, especially for low-income students.
He is deeply committed to continuing the legacy of his predecessor, Stephen Jerome, who worked tirelessly to cultivate a warm, student-centric campus culture where students can thrive and where faculty and staff enjoy coming to work.
President Jerome maintains an open-door policy at his offices on both campuses. He warmly welcomes questions and comments from students and their parents, as well as from faculty and staff.
