Ireland, if appointed, would be the state’s first African-American chief justice. He received a Ph.D. in Law, Policy and Society in 1998 from Northeastern. Ireland, 65, was raised in Springfield, and received a Bachelor’s degree from Lincoln University, a Juris Doctor from Columbia University, and a Master’s of Laws from Harvard.

Community Ambassadors, a branch of Off-Campus Services, will hold the Mission Hill Breakfast Club Sunday.

An earlier version of RSA elects new vice president said Nita Viadya was the second vice president for collaboration. Viadya is the third person to hold this position. The News regrets this error.
