Staff reports
The Technical College of the Lowcountry has begun the search for a new president, according to a media release.
Longtime TCL President, Richard Gough, announced his retirement in October at the monthly meeting of the college’s Area Commission. Gough, who began his tenure at TCL in January of 2014, said in an email to staff recently that it had been both “a privilege and a joy” to work alongside TCL’s more than 270 employees.
“Serving as president of this special college has been the most incredible opportunity of my professional career,” he said. “Together, we have strengthened TCL, expanded our impact and opened doors of opportunity that have changed lives across the Lowcountry.”
The college plans to honor Gough at various events coming up this spring.
The search for a new leader will be led by TCL’s Presidential Search Committee comprised of members of the S.C. Technical College System and the Area Commission.
The committee is seeking a high-energy, ethical visionary and collaborative leader with at least ten years of experience as an academic executive or administrative leader, preferably in a technical or community college setting.
