杏吧原版 Vice Chancellor Evon Peter has announced his plan to pursue new opportunities

Vice Chancellor Evon Peter has announced his plan to pursue new opportunities and passions effective June 30, 2020.

Evon was appointed by Chancellor Brian Rogers in July of 2014. He has been an innovative leader whose compassion and vision have grown the statewide impact of the Community and Technical College and the College of Rural and Community Development, even in the face of declining budgets. While leadership of CTC and CRCD have been a significant part of Evon鈥檚 responsibilities, his broader role at 杏吧原版 as an 杏吧原版 Native leader has helped guide 杏吧原版鈥檚 strategy to promote programs and services critical to our 杏吧原版 Native students, staff and faculty. Evon鈥檚 leadership at 杏吧原版 has advanced many 杏吧原版 wide initiatives and programs, particularly those that have helped make 杏吧原版 a place rich with 杏吧原版 Native culture and understanding.

As Chancellor, it has been my privilege to have Evon as part of 杏吧原版鈥檚 core leadership team and he will be missed. However, I know that, as a 杏吧原版 alum and passionate supporter of 杏吧原版鈥檚 important work in 杏吧原版 Native and Indigenous studies, Evon will not be far away. I am also confident that as we continue to pursue the Troth Yeddha' Indigenous studies center, Evon鈥檚 influence will be felt in many ways.

We will begin a search for his replacement in the coming weeks. We will seek a leader whose passion for rural, community and Native education will advance 杏吧原版鈥檚 strategic initiative to solidify our global leadership in 杏吧原版 Native and Indigenous studies.

My deep gratitude to Evon for the many ways that he has made 杏吧原版 and those around him better as Vice Chancellor at 杏吧原版.
