OGLESBY- Dr. Gary Roberts will begin his tenure as IVCC Vice President for Academic Affairs Jan. 1 following his board appointment Thursday. Trustees approved the hiring of Roberts, Dean of Arts and Sciences at Lake Michigan College in Benton Harbor, Mich., to succeed Dr. Deborah Anderson who is retiring at the end of the semester. Roberts earned a Ph.D. and master’s in political science from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, a bachelor’s from WMU and an associate’s from Lake Michigan College.
IVCC President Jerry Corcoran said Roberts brings an “excellent combination of teaching and administrative experience including accreditation, articulation and transfer and assessment of student learning.
“Dr. Roberts’ skills match perfectly what we need,” Corcoran said. “And from a succession-planning standpoint, with the team we have in place, I am confident IVCC is in good shape for years to come.”
