Steven R. DiSalvo, Ph.D. (born January 28, 1962) is an American academic administrator serving as the seventh President of Endicott College in Beverly, Massachusetts.
Early life and education
DiSalvo was raised in Queens, New York, the only son of Salvatore and Arline DiSalvo. He was raised and educated as a Roman Catholic.[1] DiSalvo attended Fordham University, a Jesuit university, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in psychology, Master of Business Administration in marketing, and Ph.D. in educational leadership.
Career
Prior to assuming his position at Endicott College, DiSalvo served as the President of Saint Anselm College from 2013 to 2019 and Marian University from 2010 to 2013.[2][3] On October 12, 2018, Saint Anselm College announced that Dr. DiSalvo will step down as president in June 2019.[4][5][6]
On March 27, 2019, the Endicott College Board of Trustees announced that Dr. DiSalvo would become the college's seventh president, beginning July 1, 2019.
Drawing upon his wealth of executive experience, he has stewarded major initiatives at Endicott College, including the construction of the new Cummings School of Nursing & Health Sciences academic building; a comprehensive capital campaign; a visionary strategic plan; and a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, most recently demonstrated by the appointment of the College’s first Vice President & Chief Diversity Officer and the creation of a Center for Belonging and Inclusion. Notably, DiSalvo successfully led the College through a worldwide pandemic with a safe and fully open campus, record applicants and enrollments, lower debt, and a stronger endowment.
Since relocating to Boston’s North Shore, DiSalvo has served on the boards of the New England Council, Austin Preparatory School, Life Sciences Consortium of the North Shore, Cummings Foundation, and as the Chair of the Commonwealth Coast Conference. He and his wife Eileen are the proud parents of three adult sons, Tom, Andrew, and Connor.[7]
