A New President for Fast-Growing Northcentral University

Claudia Santin

Claudia Santin

Claudia Santin assumed her new role as Northcentral University’s (AZ) president this month, moving from academic vice president, provost, and chief operating officer. She takes the reins as president during a period of expansion – the fully online university experienced a 40 percent growth in the first eight months of 2006, reaching an enrollment of more than 3,600 students.

Santin was first affiliated with NCU in 2001 as a member of the Board of Directors, and she joined the staff in 2004 as dean of the School of Education, launching that school’s master’s, Ed.D., and Ph.D. programs. NCU founder Don Hecht ends his term as university president, a post he has held since the institution’s inception in 1996, but he remains a member of NCU’s Board of Directors.
