Meet the President

Lisa A. Lori, J.D. serves as Marywood's 13th President, also holding the distinction of being the institution’s first lay president. President Lori’s distinguished qualifications include a dynamic leadership record as Marywood’s former Board Chair, along with an extensive professional background as a lawyer, reflecting a growing national trend of lawyer presidents, whose legal training and strategic expertise are highly sought in the challenging, complex climate of higher education.

A proud Marywood alumna, President Lori is committed to further expanding Marywood’s scope of influence in higher education, so that a broader range of students can come to know and love the University as much as she does. Working diligently to advance Marywood’s life-changing mission, she collaborates with campus and community partners to ensure that Marywood University is a leading academic institution for today’s students and for future generations, as well as an economic engine for the region.
