Castellanos named chair of Brooklyn College Foundation
The Brooklyn College Foundation has announced that longtime Board of Trustees member Anthony R. Castellanos ’85 is now serving as board chair, effective this month. Castellanos follows Evan Silverstein ’76, who had been chair since 2017.
“We are thrilled to welcome Tony Castellanos into this new role,” Brooklyn College President Michelle J. Anderson said. “We are confident that the foundation will continue to thrive in its important work under his leadership. I would also like to thank Evan Silverstein for his board leadership in supporting the college’s mission, particularly through the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Castellanos, who grew up in Brooklyn, has served as an active member of the Board of Trustees since 2016 and most recently was the chair of the Audit and Finance Committee. He is a 38-year accounting professional, who recently retired from KPMG.
