NCC President Makes Power 100

Northampton Community College (NCC) President, David A. Ruth, Ph.D., has been selected by Lehigh Valley Business (LVB) as one of the region’s power players for their annual Power 100 List. This group is composed of the area’s most significant, influential and respected leaders in their fields. The honorees are chosen by LVB's editorial leadership team with input from readers. 

“I am grateful and humbled to be recognized by Lehigh Valley Business as one of the region’s power players in the annual Power 100 List.  This acknowledgement further fuels my commitment to driving positive change and making a lasting impact in the Lehigh Valley,” said Ruth. 

Ruth was named as NCC’s fifth president in 2022, and since that time, he has ensured that all voices are heard, including hosting open office hours for students, faculty and staff to share their feelings, suggestions and questions. This is part of his ongoing efforts to be accessible to the campus community. As a community college graduate, he can understand and identify with NCC students’ unique needs.  

Congratulations to President Ruth!
