Kami DePape, the current Vice President of Academics, has just been named interim president and CEO for Parkland College.
“I am honoured to be appointed interim CEO and am excited by this new challenge,” said DePape.
“I have enjoyed working at the college for 15 years and have strong connections with our staff, partners, and programs.”
DePape, who has worked at Parkland College in various leadership roles for nearly 17 years, feels her role is clear with the staff and students she serves at the college.
“My goal is to provide them with consistency and stability during this transition period. I want to ensure we stay focused on our students and providing quality programming.”
In October 2018, Parkland College and Cumberland College formed a trial coalition. Both colleges will now share a president/CEO, and the Board of Governors for each organization will be unified.
A joint steering committee, along with Ministry of Advanced Education officials, are leading the transition. A permanent CEO is expected to be hired by April 30, 2019.
