Cayuga Community College recently added two prominent local education leaders to its Board of Trustees. Cayuga County District 8 Legislator Heidi Nightengale and Auburn Enlarged City School District Superintendent Jeffrey Pirozzolo were formally sworn in as trustees, enhancing the board’s expertise with their extensive backgrounds in education and community service.
Nightengale, who brings decades of experience in higher education and community service, was sworn in this month. Pirozzolo, who has led the Auburn school district for nearly a decade, joined the board in late 2023. Both appointments were celebrated by Cayuga President Dr. Brian Durant and Board Chair Tony Franceschelli for their potential to contribute diverse perspectives on educational issues.
During their introduction, both new trustees expressed enthusiasm for their roles. Nightengale emphasized her commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, while Pirozzolo praised the college’s significant impact on local students and the community. Their combined experience is expected to greatly benefit the college’s mission and student body.
