The Board of Regents is expected to vote on Hilgersom’s recommendation and contract during a May 2 meeting.
“We had four outstanding candidates to choose from and our choice was not easy,” said Regent Kevin Melcher who chaired the search committee. “In the end, however, we felt that Dr. Hilgersom’s leadership experience and in-depth knowledge of community college issues were an outstanding match to build on the college’s existing successes.”
