Regina Peruggi, the first wife of former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, has been named the new president of Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn.
It’s Peruggi’s second stint as a college president.
She ran Marymount Manhattan College for 10 years before assuming her current post as head of the Central Park Conservancy.
The City University Board of Trustees last night also appointed new presidents at two other colleges: Jeremy Travis as the new head of John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and Russell Hotzler as boss of The New York City College of Technology.
Peruggi takes over a 30,000-student campus that’s had its share of turmoil.
The school’s former budget director claimed he was fired after questioning the spending practices of then-President Byron McClenney, who resigned shortly thereafter.
But there are some perks, too.
Kingsborough is on Manhattan Beach and faces the Atlantic Ocean.
Travis, is a former deputy commissioner of the NYPD’s office of legal affairs and head of the National Institute of Justice, the research arm of the Justice Department.
Hotzler, CUNY’s vice chancellor of academic program planning, has long been a go-to guy during his 30-year career.
He previously served as acting president of Queens and York colleges.
