Community forum set for Ventura County Community College District Chancellor finalists.

A community college district on the South Coast now has three finalists for its Chancellor’s post.

The Ventura County Community College District conducted a nationwide search to find a replacement for Greg Gillespie, who’s retiring in June.

The finalists are Dr. Cory Clasemann, the Vice President for Student Success at Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana; Dr. Lee Lambert, the Chancellor for the Pima Community College District in Arizona, and Dr. Rick MacLennan, the former president of Northern Idaho Community College.

The finalists will take part in a community forum next Tuesday at the District’s Administrative Center in Camarillo.
