By Emma Crawford Kent Daily Journal TUPELO – Following current president Mike Eaton’s retirement announcement earlier this year, Itawamba Community College officials have been at work searching for the college’s next leader. The search is being conducted by a five-member search committee, and ICC vice president of development and planning Wayne Sullivan said a new president should be named by May 2. Sullivan said the search committee has narrowed the candidates down to three individuals after receiving 18 applications total, and the full board of trustees will interview the candidates May 1. The full board of trustees is made up of 30 members. “I think the committee has done a very thorough search and evaluation of the candidates, and I think we have three excellent candidates,” Sullivan said. The search committee does not plan to release the finalists’ names to the public, Sullivan said, because some candidates have requested their interest in the position be kept confidential until a hire is made. The committee is looking for someone with senior level administrative experience, strong communication and interpersonal skills, high integrity, accessibility and collaborative leadership skills, according to Sullivan. “We were looking for someone who could manage the college and lead it for the next 10-20 years and who had all the qualifications and attributes that are required for running a community college,” Sullivan said. Sullivan said the committee also wants a leader with a commitment to academic excellence and student success and an understanding of the importance of technology in education. emma.crawford@journalinc.com Twitter: @emcrawfordkent
