The Louisiana Community & Technical College System Board of Supervisors has officially approved Dr. Heather Spillers Poole as the third chancellor of Central Louisiana Technical Community College.

Dr. Poole was named the chancellor back in September pending the Board’s approval following the retirement announcement of longtime higher education leader Dr. Jimmy Sawtelle, who has served as chancellor for nearly a decade. 

 In the days ahead, a coordinated transition plan will be implemented to ensure a smooth leadership handoff and maintain momentum for the college’s students, faculty, staff, and community partners. More details to follow.
