A resident of Crofton, Md., Carroll has dedicated most of her professional life to serving the public sector. Most recently, she served as an assistant attorney general representing the Maryland Department of the Environment, working to enforce the state’s environmental laws and regulations to protect public health and the environment.

“Priscilla has a proven ability to bring groups together, engaging many to find solutions and common ground,” said President Phil Stone. “Her deep love of Sweet Briar coupled with her desire to continue to foster connections among alumnae and students to work toward their future success will serve her well in this position.”
Carroll brings experience in problem solving through fair-minded advocacy, persuasion and negotiation.

She strives to enhance the bonds of loyalty among the College’s alumnae over the next generation, which includes her daughter, a current student.
“As alumnae, we know that Sweet Briar is a unique and valuable institution. The devotion of our alumnae reflects how deeply formative our Sweet Briar years were in our becoming strong, confident and thoughtful leaders in our personal and professional lives,” Carroll said.
