Following the recent election, two incumbents—Gloria Cudia and Paul Gorski—were officially sworn in to continue their service on the Board. They were joined by newly elected trustee Dr. Jenna Goldsmith, who fills the seat previously held by Richard Kennedy. Dr. Goldsmith, an RVC alumnus, brings with her a strong background in education and community service, and her appointment marks a new chapter in the Board’s ongoing commitment to student success and institutional growth.

During the reorganization, the Board elected new officers to lead for the coming year. Paul Gorski was elected to serve as Board Chair, Kristen Simpson was elected Vice-Chair, and Dr. Jenna Goldsmith was elected Secretary.

The meeting also included a moment of appreciation for Richard Kennedy, who was recognized for his dedicated service to the college and the community. He was presented with a commemorative plaque in gratitude for his contributions during his tenure on the Board.

Rock Valley College is grateful for the ongoing leadership and service of its Board of Trustees, who continue to guide the institution’s mission and vision for the future.
