ARKANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) Three finalists have been chosen in the search for a new president for Cowley County Community College in Arkansas City.
The three finalists are: Clark Williams, vice president and chief operating officer of Blue Mountain Community College in Pendelton, Ore.; Robert Riza, vice president of student services for Hill College in Hillsboro, Texas; and Michael Calvert, campus president and college vice president for Central Community College in Grand Island, Neb.
The Arkansas City Traveler reports the finalists will be on campus for public forums and interviews next month. The three were chosen from 28 candidates presented to the college’s board by a search firm.
The new president will replace Patrick McAtee, who retired in December 2012 after more than 25 years as president.
