Noujaim Appointed to Post University Board of Directors

WATERBURY- State Representative Selim Noujaim (R-Waterbury) has been appointed to the Board of Trustees of Post University. President of Post College, Dr. Jon DeTemple said with the changing face of Post University, Representative Noujaim was a perfect choice to join the Board.

“Selim is an alum, a prominent local citizen who is deeply connected to the community,” said Dr. DeTemple. “We are trying to reconnect Post University with the community once again and restructuring with new trustees. Selim Noujaim is just the type of person we need.”

In May of 1990, Post College became affiliated with the worldwide Teikyo Group. The affiliation resulted in a name change - from Post College to Teikyo Post University - and dramatically expanded the institution's mission and scope. From a predominantly regional business college, Post University became an affiliate of one of the world's largest international education consortia.

Today, as Post University, the school’s enrollment consists of approximately 700 students on campus, and another 600 enrolled in online programs.

“I am very proud to have been named to the Board of Trustees of Post University,” said Representative Noujaim, who graduated from Post when it was known as Post Junior College in 1973. “Post represents the classic kind of American institution that allowed me, as an immigrant, to rise from scrubbing floors while attending the school to eventually be named to the Board of Trustees. Post embodies American opportunity, and I look forward to the challenges ahead of the Board.”
