The board also appointed two new business and industry trustees, Robert F. Beard, chief operations officer of UGI Corporation, and Karen L. Quintos, an alumna who is retired from Dell where she served in several executive positions and currently leads Penn State’s Smeal College of Business Board of Visitors. The board also re-appointed its chair, Matthew W. Schuyler, chief brand officer at Hilton, to another three-year term as an at-large trustee.
Krieger currently plays soccer for the NWSL’s Gotham FC in northern New Jersey, but she said she plans to retire in November, which will give her more time to devote to the university.
