ACC Invites College, Community to Meet President Finalists

The Austin Community College District will host the finalists for the position of college president/CEO April 4 and 6. The ACC Board of Trustees originally selected three finalists; however, Dr. Donald Doucette has accepted the position of chancellor for the Eastern Iowa Community College District.

The two finalists will visit the college individually, taking part in internal forums (for faculty, staff, and students) and community forums.

The Board of Trustees named the finalists in early March. They are:

The forums open to the community will be at the following times.

The forums will be at Eastview Campus (3401 Webberville Rd., Room 8500) and Highland Business Center (5930 Middle Fiskville Rd., Room 201). ACC will provide beverages and light refreshments; community members who attend the 11:30 a.m. forums are welcome to bring lunch.

The college launched a nationwide search for a new president last summer, when Dr. Stephen B. Kinslow announced his plans to retire in 2011 after 34 years of service to the college, including six years as president. The Board of Trustees is expected to announce the new president in May, and an official start date will be determined following the selection. Dr. Kinslow will remain in his role until the new president begins.

Details on the presidential search process can be found at austincc.edu/pres/search.
