TJC Presidential Search Draws Many Applicants

TYLER – Over 80 persons have applied to become Tyler Junior College’s next president. They come from throughout the United States and Canada. After a thorough review of each applicant by a board-appointed screening committee, the pool was narrowed to several semi-finalists. They will be interviewed and the TJC Board of Trustees will select three to five finalists. Late next month, the final candidates will visit the college to interview with the board, tour the campus and participate in open forums. At the conclusion of final interviews, the Board will select the sole finalist. The search for TJC’s next president began in January after TJC’s Chancellor and CEO Dr. Mike Metke announced he would retire this summer.
