Delaware Valley University has created a President’s Advisory Council (PAC), a non-governing group that supports the university’s historical commitment to experiential learning.

The council aims to prepare students to meet the challenges of a complex global environment, engage in life-long learning, acquire requisite skills, and exhibit a spirit of inquiry that enriches and informs their lives.

PAC members serve as Delaware Valley University community champions in service to the university’s mission by sharing ideas, feedback, and valuable engagement opportunities with DelVal leadership.

“We are fortunate to have such an accomplished group of professionals to serve on the President’s Advisory Council,” said Delaware Valley University President Benjamin E. Rusiloski.

“Each member brings their unique experience and point of view to the table, and I look forward to their ideas and input.”

Eight volunteer members have been appointed to the PAC, each serving a three-year, renewable term.

The PAC is co-chaired by Joy Levy, Treasurer of the Board of Trustees, and Joe Fiochetta, Vice President for Development and Alumni Affairs.

The PAC members include:

• Ronald (Ron) Alexander ’84 – Principal of R. Alexander Associates, Inc.
• George Ball – Chairman of W. Atlee Burpee Company.
• Lisa Caperelli ’09 – Vice President of Investor Relations at Arbutus Biopharma Corporation.
• Neil Clover ’89 – Chief Technology Officer at SDI
• Marlene De la Cruz – Global President, Adelphi Research Franchise.
• Jerry Fritz ’88 – Owner of both Jerry Fritz Garden Design, Inc.
• Dorothy Prisco – Named DelVal’s Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA) Emerita in 2014. Following her retirement from the VPAA position, Dorothy worked at DelVal as Special Assistant to the President.
• Jeane M. Vidoni – President and CEO of Penn Community Bank.
