(OLNEY) PENDING BOARD APPROVAL, IECC HIRING NEW CHANCELOR
The Illinois Eastern Community Colleges Board of Trustees is expected to approve Dr. Timothy L. Taylor as the institution’s next chancellor at its June 16 meeting at Olney Central College.
Taylor currently serves as president of Shawnee Community College and would assume the role on Aug. 15, pending board approval.
The appointment comes as Chancellor Ryan Gower prepares to retire on June 30 after a decade of leadership at IECC.
Taylor brings more than 20 years of community college leadership experience, including previous leadership roles within Illinois Eastern. During his career, he has focused on student success, workforce development, strategic planning, and strengthening partnerships with schools and employers.
Taylor said he is honored by the opportunity and looks forward to building on IECC’s strong foundation while expanding educational opportunities throughout southeastern Illinois.
