VINNIE ZARLETTI BRINGS EXPERIENCE AND PERSPECTIVE TO COFA LEADERSHIP ROLE By Nancy Zugschwert ’19 M.A.
hen the College of Fine Arts (COFA) was formed in 2011, Larry Bach was the natural choice to serve as its first dean. In 2021, in anticipation of Bach’s retirement, the Senior Leadership Team named a successor, and Bach passed the leadership baton to Vincent (Vinnie) Zarletti ’02, D.W.S. Zarletti serves as the COFA dean, but brings different skills and gifts than his predecessor. While he will fill Bach’s administrative role, his musical focus will stay in the worship arena, and a search is underway for a full-time faculty member who will serve as a choral conductor. 26 | NCU Magazine
