Larry Czarda
"I got involved in Opportunity Greensboro because Greensboro’s unique partnership is a story that needs to be told. The symbiosis between these schools and business provides resources for business and training and employment for students, and with Greensboro College right on the edge of downtown, it’s a natural fit for us."
Lawrence D. Czarda became Greensboro College’s 18th president in 2010 after serving since 1983 at George Mason University in both faculty and senior administrative positions.
He has chaired the Fauquier Health System and the Fauquier County School Board and held leadership positions in the United Methodist Church and the Boy Scouts.
Czarda, born in Somerville, N.J., holds a B.A. in history and political science from Bridgewater College, an M.P.A. from American University, and a Ph.D. in public policy from George Mason.
Czarda and his wife, Carolyn Chappell, have seven children. His interests include athletics, art, drumming, reading and farm work.
