The Franklin Pierce University Board of Trustees announces the appointment of new members Dominick Miciotta (Class of 1991) and Rollin Schuster (Class of 1982.)
“On behalf of the entire university, I am pleased to welcome Mister Miciotta and Mister Schuster to our board of trustees,” stated FPU President Kim Mooney. “We are fortunate to draw not only on their strong professional backgrounds and experiences but also on their unique understanding of Franklin Pierce as alumni of our institution.”
Miciotta is the CEO of Common Core Management, LLC, which provides operational support and management for professional service companies. He also works as the chief marketing officer for Smith Legacy Law. Based in Greenwich, Conn., the firm provides personalized legal services to individuals and businesses nationwide.
Since 2022, Miciotta has served on the board of directors of Kids in Crisis, a Cos Cob, Conn.-based nonprofit that provides emergency shelter, crisis counseling and community education programs for children and families facing a crisis. A 1991 graduate of Franklin Pierce with a bachelor’s degree in theater, Miciotta also holds a master’s degree with a concentration in higher education administration from Northeastern University in Boston.
Schuster is a property and casualty broker, benefits consultant, wealth manager and retirement plan adviser. After nearly 30 years of building The Schuster Group, his company was acquired by NFP, where he serves as managing director. Schuster’s desire to support the greater good inspired him to create The Alliance for Nonprofit Growth and Opportunity Inc. (TANGO), where he serves as president. The organization provides resources to more than 1,200 organizations, helping them build capacity through business-oriented education, preferred services and mission support.
Schuster is also treasurer of CW Resources, one of Connecticut’s largest nonprofit organizations, and past chairman of the board of Qualidigm, a national health care consulting company. Rollin graduated from Franklin Pierce in 1982 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing.
“With their considerable knowledge in the areas of strategic marketing and nonprofit management, Dominick and Rollin will be immediate assets to Franklin Pierce,” Board Chair Frederick W. Pierce IV stated. “Their reputations as leaders in their respective industries, and their personal connections to FPU, are invaluable as we explore new models and programs that build on our legacy of excellence.”
