Each year, NERCHE invites individuals to become Visiting Fellows with the Center. The Fellows are faculty or administrators, usually drawn from the local or regional area but occasionally from other parts of the country, who are associated with the Center for a semester or a year. Fellows, usually on leave or in transition, bring a range of experience and perspectives on problems and issues facing institutions of higher education.
NERCHE is pleased to welcome Armand Carriere as a Visiting Fellow for 2008-2009.
Armand Carriere was the founding Executive Director of the Worcester UniverCity Partnership, a unique collaboration among the Colleges of Worcester Consortium, the City of Worcester, MA, and the local Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce and Worcester Business Development Corporation. The purpose of this collaboration was to engage the colleges and universities of the area more actively in the general development of the City of Worcester.
Prior to his work in Worcester Mr. Carriere served as the Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for University Partnerships at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in Washington, DC. The Office of University Partnerships (OUP) is HUD’s primary vehicle to encourage and expand the efforts of colleges and universities that are striving to make a difference in their communities.
A native of Woonsocket, RI, Mr. Carriere has a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Rhode Island and a M.A. in Student Personnel Work from Ohio State University. He now resides in Fox Point, Wisconsin with his wife of 35 years.
