PORT ANGELES — Peninsula College trustees announced the selection of four finalists for the position of president Tuesday.
“We have an outstanding group of applicants,” said Chairwoman Julie McCulloch.
“Each would bring great strengths to the position, and they all meet the requirements we set forth in our presidential search profile.”
The finalists — all affiliated with institutions outside Washington state — will be invited to visit Peninsula College, participate in public forums and have interviews with the trustees, though no dates have been announced.
The earliest trustees could make a decision is March 20; they may have a permanent president in place by the end of June.
The finalists, all of whom hold doctorates, are:
■ Dorothy J. Duran, vice president for academic affairs at Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
■ Cheri A. Jimeno, president of New Mexico State University, Alamogordo, in Alamogordo, N.M.
■ John R. (Ron) Langrell III, executive vice president of Riverland Community College in Austin, Minn.
■ Luke P. Robins, chancellor of Louisiana Delta Community College in Monroe, La.
The new president, once chosen, will replace Tom Keegan, who will serve as Skagit Valley College’s new president after 10 years leading Peninsula College.
Brinton Sprague, a retired community college leader now living in Port Ludlow, is serving as interim president.
