UMW President Troy Paino
University of Mary Washington President Troy Paino has made the “Virginia 500: The 2023-24 Power List,” the fourth annual edition of the most powerful and influential leaders in business, government, politics and education by Virginia Business magazine. The publication ranks top executives across 19 major sectors ranging from law and real estate to finance and federal contracting.
“It’s been a big year for Paino and the public liberal arts university he oversees,” the publication states. “In March, UMW received the largest financial gift in its 115-year history — a $30 million bequest from a 1959 alumna to support undergraduate research and scholarships. The month before, Paino received the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators’ 2023 President’s Award for his compassionate approach to strategic planning and decision making, his personal attention to student ideas and feedback, and his commitment to understanding diverse perspectives.” Read the full story.
