St. Joseph’s College in Patchogue to Get New President

St. Joseph’s College will have a new president beginning July 1 who believes the Patchogue campus is “set to take off” as it builds its first dorms, and the college transforms from commuter school to regional institution. 
Donald R. Boomgaarden, 62, former provost and senior vice president for academic affairs at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania, will become the eighth president of the 4,675-student college, which has campuses in Patchogue and Brooklyn.
