The three finalists for Roane State Community College president are scheduled to take part in interviews, forums, and receptions next week in Oak Ridge and Harriman.
The three finalists are Elizabeth Lewis, vice president of academic affairs at Northeast Lakeview College in Universal City, Texas; W. Michael Stoy, president of Middle Georgia College in Cochran, Ga.; and Christopher Whaley, vice president of Student Learning and chief academic officer at Roane State Community College in Harriman.
The interviews, forums, and receptions are scheduled on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
A presidential search advisory committee will interview the candidates on Wednesday. Those interviews are open to the public and will be held in the Dunbar Building Faculty Dining Room on the Roane State campus in Harriman, an RSCC press release said. Whaley has the first interview at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Stoy the second at 10:15 a.m., and Lewis the last at 12:45 p.m.
Detailed interview schedules are available on the presidential search website at www.tbr.edu and at www.RoaneState.edu.
The finalists will also take part in forums for faculty, staff, and students scheduled on the Roane County and Oak Ridge campuses. The press release said the campus forums can be watched online using links available on the presidential search websites.
A separate reception for alumni and community members will be held in the late afternoons for each candidate at the Oak Ridge branch campus.
“After the interviews and campus visits, Tennessee Board of Regents Chancellor John Morgan will gather feedback from committee members and make the final selection for recommendation to the Board for approval,” the Roane State press release said.
The college’s next president will succeed Gary Goff, who is retiring at the end of October.
