New Adventure
I’m very excited to begin a new professional chapter on July 1, when I begin service as the new president of North Hennepin Community College. I’ve been so lucky having had the opportunity to work with such great folks at the Normandale, the Office of the Chancellor, and Century College. I have no doubt based on those I’ve know and have met in the last month or so that my streak of great fortune will continue.
I can’t wait to be a part of this vibrant teaching and learning community.
