ESCANABA, Mich. (WZMQ) – The president of Bay College has been named among the finalists for a position at Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC) in Lower Michigan.
Dr. Nerita Hughes took the office of Bay College President in July of 2023, following a sixth-month search to fill the position. She was officially inaugurated that November.
On November 25, Grand Rapids Community College posted a press release listing Dr. Hughes as one of three finalists in the search for its next president. The other candidates are Dr. Jason Rivera, Vice Provost for Student Success and Dean of University College at Ball State University, and Dr. Kathryn Rogalski, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Workforce Development at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College.
GRCC is hosting opportunities for its campus and community to meet the candidates throughout the first two weeks of December. The college aims to select its next president before the end of the year.
WZMQ 19 has reached out to Bay College for a statement from Dr. Hughes’ office and will update this article if we receive a response.
