D'Youville Selects SUNY Oswego Provost as Its 15th President

Eight times in two years, Lorrie A. Clemo was a finalist to be president of a college or university. SUNY Potsdam considered her in 2014, as did Minot State University in North Dakota. She was one of four finalists for the top job at SUNY Brockport in 2015 and one of two finalists this past May to be president of Edinboro University in Pennsylvania. In hindsight, Clemo - a State University of New York at Oswego provost and vice president - is glad those other opportunities didn’t pan out for her.
 
After being introduced Tuesday as the next president of D’Youville College, Clemo talked glowingly of the Buffalo college’s long tradition of service, reputation for innovation and the extraordinary legacy of leadership by its past president, Sister Denise Roche.
