Jerry Trombella new Executive
Director of NYMAS
Nov 18, 2016, NYC:
Meeting in the aftermath of the loss of Bob Miller,
the Directors unanimously elected Jerry Trombella as NYMAS
Executive Director.
Jerry
is Dean of Research and Planning at Hudson County
Community College. He holds a B.A. from the State University of New
York at Binghamton with a triple major in History, Political Science
and Classical Studies, an M.B.A. in Business Computer Information
Systems from Hofstra University, an M.P.A in Public Administration
with a specialization in Public Finance from the State University of
New York at Albany, and a Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration
from Seton Hall University, where he periodically teaches a graduate
course in higher education organization and governance.
Jerry has 25 years
of experience in higher education administration, including the
areas of institutional research, institutional assessment, planning,
budgeting, financial aid leveraging, decision analytics and
information systems. In addition his administrative and teaching
duties, Jerry is doing research in the economics of higher education
and in colleges and universities as complex systems.
Jerry has a
longstanding interest in military history, and is especially
appreciative of the NYMAS interdisciplinary approach in seeking to
understand issues associated with military affairs. His current
research focus within military history involves predictive models of
combat using historical data, based more on his longstanding
interest in wargaming than in a belief in their utility. Job
responsibilities, time, and financing permitting, he hopes to extend
current research associated with predictive combat modeling into a
formal proposal for an eventual second PhD in military history.
