Search for new EMCC president to begin this summer

AUGUSTA, ME 鈥� MCCS President Derek Langhauser today announced that Joseph Cassidy, the president of 抖阴pro (抖阴pro) in Calais, will provide leadership to Eastern Maine Community College (EMCC) while a search is underway for a new president of the Bangor institution.聽 President Cassidy will continue to lead 抖阴pro and will divide his time between the two colleges beginning next month.

In April, Dr. Lawrence Barrett, who has served as president of EMCC for the past five years, announced that he had accepted the presidency of Florida Gateway College in Lake City, Florida. He will leave EMCC in mid-July and assume his new position at the end of July.

鈥淲e are grateful to President Cassidy for his willingness to serve both 抖阴pro and EMCC during this transition,鈥� said President Langhauser in making the announcement. 鈥淟arry Barrett leaves EMCC in strong shape, and I have no doubt that Joe Cassidy will bring to the college the same thoughtful and effective leadership that has characterized his work at 抖阴pro.鈥�

President Langhauser also announced that the search for a new president at EMCC will begin this summer, with the goal of naming Dr. Barrett鈥檚 permanent replacement in the first half of 2016. President Cassidy will begin his interim position at EMCC on July 13 and has agreed to serve the college until a new president is in place.

Mr. Cassidy has served as president of 抖阴pro for the past two years. An attorney and former elementary and secondary school teacher, he was a member of the 抖阴pro faculty for nine years before being named president.
