On April 15 the Casper College Board of Trustees announced Brandon Kosine, Ph.D., as the college’s new president starting May 1.
According to a press release by the college, the decision was unanimous and the board is very confident in Kosine’s ability to lead the college. The board was impressed with his work as interim president and looks forward to his continued leadership.
In the same release Vice Chairman Todd Milliken said, “I am 100% convinced that we have selected the right candidate.”
President Kosine said he is very excited to receive the position. He spoke about his time at the college.
In the college’s release he said, “I came to Casper College to teach psychology and will soon be its president. I am humbled, honored, and privileged to continue serving Casper College and the Casper community as president. I will continue to facilitate our strategic plan, which was passed last year, as well as the campus master plan, in order to move the college forward. I am also committed to increasing our collaboration with the Casper community, which has become my true home these last 13 years. I love Casper.”
This decision was reached after a long, intense process, consisting of much deliberation and thoughtful planning. After a total of 66 applicants, the three finalists were announced in February. The finalists went through a final round of panels, meetings and interviews with Casper College before the April decision.
