Presidential candidates visiting campus

Echo staff report

Candidates for RCTC’s search for a permanent president are scheduled to make a campus visit February 20-22.

Screening of candidates began in December with confidential interviews being added in January.

Following the campus visits, an appointment will be made by the Minnesota State Board of Trustees on March 21. The board’s choice is likely to be released shortly afterward to the campus.

The search for a permanent president began in October last year when a Search Advisory Committee was formed. The committee is headed by leadership from the Minnesota State system.

The committee’s goals are to locate a permanent leadership figure capable of directing the college’s future collaborations within the community to help grow the connection between Rochester and the campus.
