Sherry Ryan

Team Lead

Dr. Ryan brings a quarter century of teaching, administrative, and public higher education leadership experience to Baruch College. Prior to her appointment, Dr. Ryan was Director of the School of Public Affairs at San Diego State University (SDSU), where she was also a professor of city planning with a focus on transportation and land use. Dr. Ryan’s research focuses on transportation policy and urban planning and has received over 2,000 citations in peer reviewed journals. She also frequently translates this scholarship into real-world practice and serves as an expert advisor to government agencies, nonprofits, and advocates for public transportation and alternatives such as bike and pedestrian infrastructure. At Baruch, she leverages this academic and professional experience to expand on the cross-curriculum and community-based collaborations that are the hallmark of a Marxe School education.
