Walter Unanimously Appointed as New BCC President
By: Anthony Sganga, Editor-in-Chief
In an unanimous vote at the August 7 Board of Trustees meeting, Dr. B. Kaye Walter was appointed as the seventh president of Bergen Community College.
The meeting, held in Tec-128, went directly into executive session, where Walter's nomination was discussed.
Dr. Walter has more than 15 years of experience with senior administrative positions in higher education, including positions at Kansas City Kansas Community College, Valencia Community College and as Chancellor of Ivy-Tech - Central Indiana Region.
The hiring of Walter will hopefully put an end to the tumultuous 12 months the college has experienced, which included the ousting of Dr. Jeremiah Ryan and the decision not to renew Interim President Jose A. Adames.
With Walter, the college hopes to build what is described by Board Chairman E. Carter Corriston, a "progressive future."
