Dr. James Lemerond, Lakeshore Technical College’s Vice President of Instruction, has been named the next president of Bellingham Technical College in Washington.
Bellingham Technical College is a leading educational institution, and the only technical college, in northwest Washington State.
Dr. Lemerond joined the LTC staff as an adjunct instructor and advanced to full-time instructor, dean, and then vice president of instruction in 2018.
Under his leadership, the college secured the authority to offer Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees and became Wisconsin’s leader in competency-based education.
LTC Board Chair Don Pohlman called Lemerond a “valued member of the Lakeshore Technical College team” and that he believes he will “do great work for the community, faculty, staff, and students at Bellingham Technical College.”
Lemerond is expected to start his new job in January while LTC will begin a national search for the new vice president of instruction.
