MEET THE PRESIDENT
PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION
My welcome to NWTC and Northeast Wisconsin has truly been amazing . When I became the eighth president of the College , I knew I was joining an extraordinary college with a long history of innovation and excellence . I also knew that the best way for me to lead the College forward was to learn as much as I could about the College and the communities we serve .
I am grateful for the opportunities to meet with College employees , students , community leaders , and educational partners . One conversation at a time , I heard stories and examples of different ways NWTC has changed the lives of students and strengthened the area workforce . One proud NWTC graduate described his successful career in IT — a career his younger self never thought possible . “ I was a hot-headed teenager who somehow found my way to NWTC . The faculty and advisors stayed with me and kept me going . I ’ ve had an incredible life because of it .”
I will carry these stories with me . In turn , I will tell everyone I have discovered that NWTC is an award-winning college for many reasons , but people and community are at the top of the list . We have dedicated faculty and staff who are deeply committed to students . The community support for the College , the innovative partnerships , and collaborative initiatives create pathways for students that improve the economic vitality of our region .
I am proud and humbled to serve this college and our community . It is a privilege to learn from and work with all of you who make NWTC so amazing .
