Gail E. Carberry, who has led Quinsigamond Community College as its president for 10 years, announced Tuesday she will retire from her position at the end of the 2016-2017 academic year.
“My homecoming back to Worcester a decade ago to lead this wonderful college in the community that nurtured me into adulthood has been a precious personal blessing. It is time to allow a new surge of energetic leadership to ride the next exciting wave of QCC’s future,” Carberry said in a press release announcing her retirement.
Carberry joined QCC in 2006, after 30 years at Springfield Technical Community College. She is a graduate of Springfield Tech, and received master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
