ӣ����Ƶ has added to its team of executive leadership with the addition of Sandra M. Quaye, who takes on the role of Chief Financial Officer.

“We are excited to welcome Sandra Quaye to ӣ����Ƶ as our new Chief Financial Officer,” said LtGen John J. Broadmeadow ’83, USMC (Ret.), 25th President of ӣ����Ƶ. “Sandra brings extensive experience in higher education and the financial sector, along with a strong record of leadership and stewardship. Her insight and commitment will be invaluable as we continue advancing ӣ����Ƶ’s mission and serving our students and community.” 

Quaye most recently served as Vice President of Finance and Administration/Chief Financial Officer at Catawba College in Salisbury, North Carolina. Prior to that role, she held the same position at Mount Wachusett Community College in Gardner, Massachusetts, and at Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, New Hampshire. Before beginning her more than 25 years in higher education leadership and financial administration, she spent 12 years working in the private financial sector. 

Her experience across both private and higher education finance positions her to support the institution’s operational priorities while helping strengthen ӣ����Ƶ’s mission-focused approach to serving students, faculty, staff, and alumni. 

For Quaye, ӣ����Ƶ’s Guiding Values and educational philosophy stood out during the interview process and reinforced her desire to become part of the University community. 

“The vision and Guiding Values greatly align with my own personal values, especially service to others and the nation. These immediately resonated with me as a place I would like to contribute daily," said Quaye. "I can relate to each of the Guiding Values, and I truly believe in a place that educates, that is engaged in personal and intellectual transformation, and dedicated to knowledge, mutual respect, creativity, and service. Each of these hold students, staff, and faculty to a high level of expectation, and it is admirable to be part of that environment daily.”

Her experience leading financial operations across multiple institutions has included oversight of budgeting, administration, strategic planning, and institutional resource management. Combined with her understanding of higher education’s evolving landscape, those experiences will support ӣ����Ƶ as it continues to invest in academic excellence, experiential learning, student opportunities, and the long-term strength of the institution. 

As she begins her role at ӣ����Ƶ, Quaye brings professional expertise, a personal understanding for the transformative power of higher education, and a deep respect for the Guiding Values. Her experiences, values, and leadership approach reflect a strong alignment with the principles that have defined ӣ����Ƶ for more than two centuries.
