Tracy Claybaugh, a former executive of finance for Plymouth State University in New Hampshire, will be appointed as Point Park’s senior vice president of finance (CFO) on Dec. 1.

Current CFO Bridget Mancosh “made the decision to retire,” Lou Corsaro, a university spokesperson, said. Mancosh did not provide comment; Claybaugh was recruited to fill her position after a national search.

In a press release announcing Claybaugh’s appointment, President Chris Brussalis said he looked forward to her coming contributions to the university’s finance office.

“We are excited to have Tracy join our leadership team at Point Park,” Brussalis said in the release. “Her experience and leadership will be valuable assets as we continue to navigate a future of growth and opportunity,”

Claybaugh has roughly 20 years of experience leading other universities’ financial offices, according to the press release. Beyond Plymouth State, Claybaugh also headed Penn State Behrend’s financial office in Erie, Pa.

She will oversee Point Park’s financial strategy, contracted services, facilities and information technology.

Claybaugh, a Western Pennsylvania native, graduated from Waynesburg College with a bachelor’s in business administration and accounting.

“Returning to Pittsburgh for this role is more than a career decision — it’s a homecoming,” Claybaugh said in the release. “It’s a chance to give back to the city that helped shape my values, my work ethic and my sense of community.”
