Eastern Nazarene College announced Larry Bollinger was chosen as vice president of Institutional Advancement.

An alumnus of the college, Bollinger returns to ENC after two decades with Nazarene Compassionate Ministries. For the past 12 years, he has served as its director, traveling to more than 100 countries and working with staff to implement global humanitarian programs. As CEO and president of Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Inc. — a separate nonprofit that works with government and foundation programs — Bollinger has overseen multimillion-dollar initiatives funded by USAID and the U.S. Department of Justice.

“We are so pleased to welcome Larry Bollinger back to the campus of Eastern Nazarene College,” said Corlis McGee, ENC president. “Larry’s expertise in marshaling the resources needed for Christians to live out their faith and help those in need will prove invaluable as we work to put a Christian liberal arts education within reach of as many students as possible.”

In addition to a Bachelor of Arts in business administration from ENC, Bollinger holds a master's in business administration from Eastern University and a Doctor of Education in ethical leadership from Olivet Nazarene University. He also completed Harvard University’s Executive Training in Strategic Management for leaders of nongovernmental organizations program.

“It is with great joy that we are coming home to Quincy and to the ENC community,” Bollinger said. “I am inspired by the meaningful tradition of graduating exceptional students with a passion to make a difference in the world.”

Bollinger succeeds Scott Turcott, who will serve ENC as special assistant in an advisory capacity through July 2016 in order to assist with the transition of leadership.
