Steve Gold chosen as interim president at LSC
Chancellor Announces Appointment of Lyndon State College
Interim President
Waterbury, VT (June 7, 2011) - Vermont State Colleges Chancellor Tim Donovan announced today that Steve Gold of Montpelier has been appointed interim president of Lyndon State College. Gold will begin his work at the college on July 5.
"At the meeting on June 2, I recommended to the Board of Trustees that the interim presidency of Lyndon State College be offered to Steve Gold. I'm pleased to announce that over the weekend, Steve accepted our offer. My recommendation to the Board reflected a strong belief that Steve brings the right mix of skills, demeanor, and experience necessary to successfully set the stage for Lyndon's next president. I am pleased that the trustees concurred and that Steve agreed to join us."
The interim presidency is expected to last one year and comes in the wake of President Carol A. Moore's retirement after thirteen years of service at Lyndon. The College is positioned to build on the growth and accomplishments achieved during President Moore's tenure.
President Moore's retirement is effective July 1. The Board of Trustees of the Vermont State Colleges is expected to designate a search committee to begin a national search for a new president of Lyndon State College early in the fall.
"The Board appreciates Mr. Gold's willingness to take on this role. I expect the search for a new president at Lyndon State will be comprehensive and thorough. It will also represent a broad array of perspectives and opportunities for input," said Board of Trustees Chair Gary Moore. For his part, Gold is looking forward to getting started. "I am delighted to have the opportunity to help guide Lyndon State College through this transition. The College plays a vital role in the Northeast Kingdom and I am committed to working with the entire Lyndon community to ensure its ongoing success," said Gold.
