Angila Tracey Named Secretary of the College and Director of Administration

Angila Tracey has been named the next Secretary of the College and Director of Administration of The College of Wooster, reporting to the president. She officially begins in the role the week of August 21.

“Angie’s exceptional project management skills, combined with her deep knowledge of higher education, campus operations, and the local community will be an asset as we partner across constituencies to chart the path for the future of our great institution,” said President Anne McCall.

In this new role, Tracey will serve as a member of cabinet and provide primary executive-level staffing to the president, including project management and reporting on presidential initiatives, institutional projects, budgets, compliance, and oversight of the Office of the President’s staff. As the official corporate secretary, she also will coordinate meetings of the Board of Trustees and its committees, manage and communicate information and materials to board members, and ensure accurate and timely board records.

Tracey has worked as Operations Manager in the College’s Facilities Department since 2015, where she serves as the primary contact to campus, contractors, and service personnel; manages all electronic, phone, verbal, and written work requests; oversees transportation requests, staff, and the college fleet; serves as the primary administrator and training expert for the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS); and prepares numerous compliance and Board reports throughout the year.

She also serves on critical campus-wide task forces and committees, including Campus Master Planning, Campus Art Working Group, Community Health Taskforce, and the Emergency Response Team. She also played a key role on recently concluded search committees for Wooster’s first Vice President for Human Resources and Director of Campus Sustainability.

Tracey is very active in her local community, where she co-founded Growing Mohican Families, an organization responsible for the design, development, fundraising, and planning of a new playground in the community. She recently completed a five-year term as a board member for the Loudonville Perrysville School Foundation, and prior to that was a member of the board for the Mohican Area Community Fund, where she planned events and raised annual dollars for non-profits within Ashland County.

She holds a Bachelor’s in education from The Ohio State University and was a licensed pharmaceutical technician for 16 years prior.
