Lansing Community College moving forward in presidential search
LANSING, Mich. – Lansing Community College is moving forward in its search for its
next president. At a special board meeting Tuesday, Jan. 7, the LCC Board of Trustees
put forth a resolution to establish a Presidential Screening Committee.
A screening committee will be formed with a membership that represents the college’s
stakeholders and whose members are appointed by the board chair, Trustee Lawrence
Hidalgo, Jr. The LCC Board of Trustees determined that the screening committee would
be comprised of 11-15 members.
The chair of the screening committee will work directly with the search firm Greenwood-Asher
& Associates, which was unanimously selected by the board on Tuesday, Oct. 29 to lead
the search for LCC’s seventh president.
The screening committee is tasked with ensuring a nationwide search to identify the
most outstanding candidates available and providing a shortlist of three to five candidate
recommendations for board consideration.
The LCC Board of Trustees wishes to hire a new president by July 1, 2020. Input is
being sought from the LCC community and the community at large regarding the Presidential
Profile for the college’s new leadership. A Campus Forum will take place from 9–10:00
a.m. and 1–2:00 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 16 in the Michigan Room, Gannon Building on LCC’s
Downtown Campus. Those unable to attend this forum are asked to submit their presidential
candidate profile suggestions to the presidential search website. This forum and presidential
candidate profile request is in keeping with the board’s desire for an open process
that includes community input.
The presidential website, located at lcc.edu/presidentialsearch, will be updated continuously
and will provide ongoing details as they become available.
