(WSIL) -- John A. Logan College President Dr. Ron House announced that he plans to retire from the College on December 31.

“It has been a privilege and an honor to serve the College for almost five years,� said House. “I want to thank the Board of Trustees and the faculty and staff for their contributions to the College in the five years that I have been here. Through a collective effort, the College has withstood several unique circumstances and emerged stronger.�

“The College is in a better place than it was five years ago,� said Trustee Jake Rendleman. “You have overseen this College through a state financial crisis, and now a pandemic, and we have gotten through it because of your leadership.�

House is the eighth President of the College. He was appointed interim President in October 2015 and named permanent President in 2016.

House oversaw a major restructuring of the College following the state financial crisis in 2016, including full recognition from the Illinois Community College Board as well as a 10-year reaccreditation from the Higher Learning Commission.

Board Chair Bill Kilquist stated that an announcement regarding the formation of a committee to oversee the search for House’s replacement would be made at the July Board meeting.
