Rock Valley College’s president will step down next January. Mike Mastroianni says the time is right to retire, and he’ll still be able to wrap up a number of the school’s projects. He has been with RVC for 18 years and was named president in 2014.

Mastroianni counts an engineering partnership with Northern Illinois University and the expansion of the aviation technology program among his accomplishments.

Rock Valley College announced Mastroianni's decision in a news release Wednesday. In it, the president says “I’m very proud of my tenure at RVC, and certainly some of the great achievements we have made in the past few years. Our Aviation Maintenance Technology program is very successful, our Rock Valley College Downtown location will open soon, the engineering partnership with NIU will begin to welcome students this fall, and the Health Sciences Center will begin offering classes in fall 2017.” 

Mastroianni is a graduate of Rock Valley College.
