WEINMAN
President Weinman has great passion for the powerful blend of a liberal arts education and pre-professional training that is the hallmark of a Marist education. He believes deeply in combining these studies and is a product of this approach himself. His academic and professional careers combine scholarship in the history of urban planning and public policy with extensive financial and administrative leadership in the private and public sectors. He values communication and personal connections, engages with the Marist community frequently, and is a highly visible presence on campus. As Marist’s fifth President, he is devoted to advancing access, equity, and excellence in higher education and making a Marist education accessible to a broader range of talented students from around the world.

Our Rise to Marist University
For years, Marist has been called a well-kept secret—a College on the Hudson doing great things. As Marist grew in size, stature, and reach, we became a university in all but name. A university that has evolved from a regional college with local appeal to one with broad national and international reach. A university that punches above its weight class, remembers its roots, and fosters a deep sense of community.
As Marist University, we will continue to dream big while always feeling small. It’s time the world knows more about the amazing things happening here and the world-class education students benefit from.
