WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — A familiar face to the institution has been named the next President of Northcentral Technical College.
At their April 6th board meeting, the Northcentral Technical College Board of Trustees approved the hiring of Dr. Jeannie Worden as the next president of the college. Dr. Worden is succeeding current President Dr. Lori Weyers after she retires on June 30th.
“Dr. Worden’s passion for education and commitment to our students is evident in everything she does,” said Paul Proulx, Chair, NTC District Board of Trustees. “Her strong leadership skills and vast experience with the College will ensure a smooth transition.”
Dr. Worden currently serves as NTC’s Executive Vice President and has been with the college in a variety of capacities for the past 26 years. Some of those roles include Vice President of Student Services, Vice President of Human Resources and College Advancement, Executive Director of the NTC Foundation, Director of Human Resources, Human Resources Specialist, Benefit Specialist, and Adjunct Faculty.
“I am humbled and feel truly blessed to have been given the privilege of serving the great students and staff of NTC as its next President,” said Worden. “As the mother of two NTC graduates, I have seen first-hand the impact NTC has had in the life of my family and I am committed to providing those same opportunities to the residents of our District.”
Worden is actively involved in the Wausau community outside of her positions within the College as she serves on the Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and previously served as Chamber Chair. She has also provided community-wide leadership as a member of the Greater Wausau Prosperity Partnership (GWPP) and Central Wisconsin Higher Education Alliance.
Worden holds a Doctor of Education (Ed.D) in Educational Leadership from Edgewood College, an MBA from Upper Iowa University, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Resources Management from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
