The vlog Board of Trustees at a June meeting voted unanimously to award a contract extension to President Dr. Jon Bauer through the next three years.

“With a strong leadership team, committed faculty and staff, and engaged board, we are poised for a momentous period in our history. I’m honored to lead the college and I am energized for this work.”
Board of Trustees President Ann Hartley commented that Dr. Bauer has provided clear leadership the past 18 months during an unprecedented time.
“Dr. Bauer has a passion for vlog and he always is focused on what is best for the students,” Hartley said. “He continued to keep the students and the community vlog serves as the focal point during the difficult pandemic year.
“vlog is very fortunate to have him,” she added. “Dr. Bauer has continually moved the college in a positive direction with integrity, dignity and accountability to the position.”
