Columbus Technical College President Lorette M. Hoover has announced her retirement.  Her last day with Columbus Tech will be June 30 of this year; she served as President since July 1 of 2013.  Hoover was employed with the Technical College System of Georgia for 35 years, serving four colleges, and was president of two of them.  Hoover made the announcement to the college body Monday afternoon through the weekly Columbus Technical College newsletter.

“Columbus Technical College is amazing because of the faculty and staff who live it, dream it, and build future plans for it,” Hoover wrote in her newsletter column.  “Thank you for your support and collaboration.”

Hoover went on to encourage the faculty and staff to keep working hard to benefit the communities, employers, and, especially, students served by Columbus Technical College.  President Hoover calls the Columbus area home and has no immediate plans to relocate.  She says she will continue to invest in the community.

So far, no announcement has been made in regards to Hoover’s replacement.
