Open Meetings in search for SLCC’s eighth president


Everyone in the Salt Lake Community College community is encouraged to attend any or all of four open meetings in advance of the search for the College’s eighth president.

The 21-member search committee will use the comments of people who attend these meetings to draft the official announcement for the job opening. Attendees should come prepared with ideas about the characteristics they’d like to see in a new president and what the priorities should be for the College’s new leader.

The meeting dates and locations are as follows:

January 28
  4:00 p.m.             Jordan Campus Health Sciences Auditorium

   11:00 a.m.           Taylorsville Redwood Campus, Student Center Oak Room
                                                4600 S Redwood Road, Salt Lake City

The position opened up this year upon the departure of President Cynthia Bioteau, who accepted a position as president of Florida State College in Jacksonville. The State Board of Regents selected Dr. Deneece Huftalin, SLCC Vice President of Student Services to serve as the College’s interim president.

The Center for Prior Learning Receives an Honorable Mention

Today, SLCC's Credit for Prior Learning department received an Honorable Mention from the  Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL ) and the  Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education  for its intentional approach and for expanding student options to receive credit for prior learning.  Credit for Prior Learning (CPL)  allows students to obtain college credit for knowledge and skills acquired outside of the traditional academic environment. This is exceptionally beneficial for adult learners, who, according to CAEL, have a 17% higher chance of graduating compared to those adults who don’t earn credits through prior learning programs.
