TROY — Mary Chesson has been selected to serve as interim president of Montgomery Community College, effective July 1.
Her selection was announced during a special called meeting of the Personnel Committee of the MCC Board of Trustees. Pending approval by the state board, Chesson will fill the position until a new president is hired.
Dr. Mary Kirk, who has presided over MCC for the past 15 years, announced her June 30 retirement last month. On July 1, Kirk will begin working in Atlanta as vice president of the Southern Association for Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.
“I am so pleased with this approval as Mary knows the campus, deals fairly with high ethical and honest standards, and I think I can now leave knowing that the staff and faculty are in good hands,” Kirk said.
A native of Star, Chesson is a former vice president of Instruction at MCC. She earned her bachelor and master’s degrees in English from East Carolina University and has held administrative roles at both MCC and Randolph Community College.
