|  Todd Hutton assumed the presidency of Utica College in August 1998 — the first Utica College president selected by the newly-independent Board of Trustees. All previous presidents had been selected by Utica College’s mother institution, Syracuse University.
Under Dr. Hutton’s leadership, Utica College has established a strategic planning process; begun offering master’s programs; initiated major reform in campus governance and the general education program; introduced a new minor in Human Rights Advocacy; constructed a new residence hall; begun work on a campus master plan and a new science and technology center; and guided board approval for seven new athletic programs.
Dr. Hutton began his career as a high school teacher in Florida and an instructor with the Prison Education Program at Durham Technical Community College, Durham, North Carolina. In 1982 he became director of Student Special Services and Disabled Student Services at Frostburg State University in Frostburg, Maryland. In 1986 he was named assistant to the president at Austin College in Sherman, Texas, where he also taught in the MAT program. In 1990, he was named vice president for academic administration at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon, a position he held for eight years before joining Utica College.
Since coming to Utica he has joined the boards of directors of the Central New York Community Arts Council, the Utica Symphony, the Mohawk Valley Chamber of Commerce, and the School and Business Alliance. He also serves on the Economic Development Council of the Chamber and the Business Development Committee of Economic Development and Growth Enterprises, Inc.
Dr. Hutton holds a Ph.D. from Duke University, an M.Ed. degree from the University of Florida, and an A.B. degree from Davidson College.
