Regent Carol Del Carlo was elected to serve on the Board of Regents in November 2016, and was retained in the 2018 general election as the representative for District 9.
She currently serves as vice chair of the Board.
Regent Del Carlo previously served as chair of the Community College Committee and vice chair of the Business, Finance and Facilities Committee. She was also a member of the Audit, Compliance and Title IX Committee; Investment Committee; and Security Committee.
Regent Del Carlo is a native Nevadan, born and raised in Reno, whose paternal Italian immigrant ancestors settled the Truckee Meadows in 1907. On her maternal side, her Hispanic heritage traces back to an original land grant family in San Diego County. She attended Vaughn Middle School, Bishop Manogue Catholic High School and graduated from Wooster High School. Her parents were not afforded the opportunity for higher education but instilled in their daughter a great desire to pursue an education. Her intent to finish in four years was quickly interrupted when she met her future husband, native Nevadan George Del Carlo of Virginia City, at her first UNR home football game in her freshman year. She changed from a bachelor’s degree program to an associate’s program, married in 1972, and followed George (UNR ROTC) for the next 22 years during his military career. She continued to pursue her education while working full time and finished her bachelor’s degree in 1981.
Regent Del Carlo was hired by General Motors Warehousing and Distribution Division in 1981 and began her 21-year corporate career. Once again while working full time, she attended evening classes and finished her master’s degree in 1987. From 1972 until their return to Nevada in 1995, Regent Del Carlo moved 16 times including residences in Ft. Knox, KY; Mannheim, Germany; Bamberg, Germany; Flint, MI; Colorado Springs, CO; Atlanta, GA; Ft. Hood, TX; and San Diego, CA.
Since her return to Nevada, Regent Del Carlo has been actively involved in volunteering in politics and various non-profit organizations while working from her home office.
She brings a love of people, politics, Nevada and the desire to serve students to the Board of Regents.
