Regis College has named Thomas P. O’Neill, III, of Boston, and Kate Korzendorfer of Brookline to the College’s Board of Trustees.
O’Neill is founder and chief executive officer of O’Neill and Associates, a leading public relations and government affairs consulting firm in Boston. A former state legislator and Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts from 1975-1983, O’Neill’s expertise spans public and private sectors in transportation, healthcare, higher education, financial services and nonprofit development. O’Neill is the oldest son of the late U.S. Speaker Tip O’Neill. He serves on many boards including Tufts Health Plan, Mt. Auburn Hospital, Massachusetts Hospital Schools Foundation, the Women’s Lunch Place, and Boston College. He received a bachelor’s degree from Boston College and a master’s degree in public administration from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
“I have watched Regis grow from the sidelines, being in the Boston area and abreast on trends in higher education,” said O’Neill. “The strategic initiatives planned are right on target and will project Regis for future growth in the higher education market not only in New England, but nationally and beyond our borders.”
