Welcome & Congratulations to Johnson & Wales President Joseph Greene

by

AICU Rhode Island is excited to welcome Joseph Greene as the new President of Johnson & Wales University!

A dedicated member of the JWU community for over 40 years, Joseph Greene M.S., CPA has served in key leadership roles across Johnson & Wales University. He first came to JWU as an employee who was working his way through an associate degree from the Community College of Rhode Island. When he learned about Johnson & Wales University’s tuition benefit for staff, Greene soon became a full-time JWU employee, first as a mail clerk, then as an accounts receivable clerk, followed by becoming a loan officer and staff accountant — all while pursuing his studies.

Over the years, Greene was promoted to vice president of accounting services, served as the university controller, chaired the payroll committee, managed JWU’s banking relationships and began overseeing facilities management and finance. He continued to grow professionally, expanding to oversee JWU’s operations and facilities in addition to finance. In 2019, he was appointed vice chancellor of finance & administration, leading several areas of the university operations, including finance, enrollment management, online administration, information technology, campus facilities and auxiliary services.

“IT’S ONE THING TO SEE a Diego Rivera mural in an auditorium slide show,” says Assistant Professor Sean Nesselrode Moncada. “But it’s totally different to see it on-site, in conversation not only with the architecture but also with the climate, the food, the language, the people.
