Princeton Theological Seminary today announced the promotion of Linda Romano, Ed.D., to the role of senior vice president for communications and institutional advancement. Romano first joined the seminary team in January 2024 as the vice president for marketing and communications.

“Linda is a valued member of our team with a strong track record of success,” said Rev. Dr. Jonathan Lee Walton, president of Princeton Theological Seminary. “She is a powerful storyteller whose ability to build meaningful relationships with students, staff, alumni, and donors continues to expand the reach and impact of our beloved community in Princeton.”

Prior to joining the Princeton Seminary team, Romano served as assistant vice president for marketing and brand at St. John’s University. She played a critical role in developing and implementing the institution’s strategic marketing and communications plan and supporting admissions and faculty colleagues on graduate enrollment, as well as advancement and alumni relations.

“I was drawn to the Seminary because of its rich history and its remarkable capacity to shape not only theological education but also the broader conversations unfolding in the Church, the academy, and society. This institution has evolved to meet the needs of a changing community and a changing student body, and it is an incredible honor to help tell that story both to those who have seen our impact up close and those who have yet to discover all that Princeton Theological Seminary has to offer,” said Dr. Romano.

In addition to her work at Princeton Seminary and St. John’s, Romano served as director of new media and creative services at Adelphi University and as the director of communications and marketing at Manhattan Neighborhood Network. Her doctoral dissertation on cultivating administrative resilience by building trust and increasing transparency in higher education remains a cornerstone of her approach to her work in communications and advancement.
