Nassau Community College Chief Administrative Officer,
Dr. Maria Conzatti, Honored as a “2025: Above and
Beyond Woman” by City & State

March 31, Garden City, NY – Dr. Maria Conzatti, Nassau Community College Chief Administrative Officer, was honored as a 2025 Above and Beyond Woman by City & State NY.

Above and Beyond: Women honors public servants, policymakers, politicians, and other remarkable women for their contributions to New York. City & State chooses female innovators in health care, transportation and the financial sector as well as advocates, educators, and entrepreneurs. What these women have in common is a deep commitment to making New York a better place.

“The greatest thing that this college gave me was the ability to have a living wage and be able to stay in Nassau County,” Dr. Conzatti, a proud NCC graduate, said to City & State. “And it’s my way of paying it forward and it’s my privilege to see these students get an education and have the same choice to stay on Long Island.”

Dr. Conzatti believes Nassau Community College must maintain quality while evolving to meet student needs. She supports these goals by listening closely to students and adjusting programs to match workforce demands. Dr. Conzatti maintains that it’s crucial to strengthen NCC’s role in the community.

City & State publishes a weekly magazine covering politics and government in New York City and New York State that is distributed to New York State legislators, county executives, municipalities, the New York Congressional delegation, New York City Council members and others leaders in New York business and government.

Nassau Community College congratulates Dr. Conzatti upon receiving this prestigious honor.
