At its meeting May 29th, the State Board of Higher Education announced that Dr. Carmen Simone, the Executive Dean at Dakota College at Bottineau, has been chosen as LRSC's interim President.
Lake Region State College enthusiastically welcomes Dr. Simone, whose experience within the ND University System and dedication to education promise continued success for the college. Her leadership at DCB has provided her with valuable insight into the unique opportunities and challenges in higher education today. Dr. Simone brings a broad array of experience and a collaborative approach, fostering productive engagement within both the academic and local communities. Her focus on student success and institutional development is well-regarded, and her familiarity with the dynamics of two-year and rural community colleges offers valuable perspectives for the future of Lake Region State College.
Dr. Simone stated she looks forward to leading the college and working with the team here. We look forward to working with her, too. Let’s give Dr. Simone our famously warm LRSC welcome when she arrives at campus July 1.
