Appointed commissioner by Governor Deval Patrick in January 2009, Freeland is responsible for providing overall direction to public higher education in Massachusetts and helping shape state-level policies that maximize the benefits of higher education to the Commonwealth and its citizens.
Previously, Freeland was president of Northeastern University for ten years, from August 1996 to August 2006. Freeland emphasized Northeastern’s leadership in practice-oriented education by enhancing the University’s flagship program of cooperative education and strengthening links between co-op and classroom. A major achievement of Freeland’s presidency was the transformation of Northeastern into a nationally selective, residential university with a high achieving student body and enhanced academic stature.
