FAMU College of Law Names New Director of Registrar

Geraldine A. Nappa, who has more than a decade of experience as a law school registrar, has been appointed the director of registrar for the Florida A&M University (FAMU) College of Law. She will begin on March 21, 2008.

“Nappa comes to us after a nationally advertised search which produced several highly qualified candidates,” said LeRoy Pernell, dean of FAMU’s College of Law. “Nappa’s training and experience was a particularly important part of the decision to have her lead our registrar operation.”

Nappa served 14 years as the Registrar for Stetson University College of Law. Prior to that, she served as the associate registrar for the University of Rhode Island and as registrar for Mitchell College in New London, Conn. She is a graduate of Eastern Connecticut State University, with a master of arts degree from the University of Connecticut.

Nappa is a member of Omicron Tau Theta, a national professional honor society, and has served as a member of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, and the National Network of Law Schools Officers.

“She is excited about what FAMU Law can be and how she can contribute to excellence with caring,” Pernell said.
