November 5, 2024 鈥 Marist President Dr. Kevin Weinman is known for his forward-thinking approach and commitment to enhancing student success. Recently, he earned spots on two prestigious lists: PoliticsNY鈥檚 and City & State鈥檚 inaugural .

Marking Dr. Weinman鈥檚 third consecutive year on this list, PoliticsNY鈥檚 Power Players in Education honors leaders dedicated to championing progress and success in all forms of education, from presidents of educational institutions to directors of nonprofits and policymakers. City & State鈥檚 Hudson Valley Power 100 recognizes the region鈥檚 most influential figures, highlighting 鈥渕overs and shakers鈥 from Westchester County to Ulster County.

Dr. Weinman is now leading Marist through the second year of its Marist 100 strategic plan, an ambitious roadmap guiding the College through and beyond its centennial celebration in 2029. The plan focuses on three main areas: student centrality, academic vibrancy, and expansive community. Now in year two, a newly formed Strategic Plan Implementation Committee has begun turning Marist 100 goals into actionable, measurable outcomes.

Dr. Weinman also has prioritized access, equity, and inclusion throughout his Marist tenure. Earlier this year, he and his wife, Beth, expanded their support of the Presidential Fund for Equity in the Marist Experience, building on their initial gift and spurring contributions from hundreds of other donors since the fund鈥檚 creation.

His path to the Marist presidency has been anything but traditional. As he shared with Power Players:

鈥10 years into my career as an accountant and financial analyst, I decided to pursue a master鈥檚 in history while working full-time. I was terrified, surrounded by scholars and experts in their field. My faculty always encouraged me, helping me develop confidence and a style all my own. I realized that great teachers 鈥 and we have so many at Marist 鈥 are those who not only convey knowledge but develop the whole person.鈥
