Six months after Bakersfield College’s current president announced that he would retire July 1, the Bakersfield College presidential screening committee has recommended three potential candidates for consideration by the Chancellor and Board of Trustees of the Kern Community College District.
 
The three candidates, in alphabetical order, are: Dr. Greg Chamberlain, Vice Chancellor, Educational Services, Kern Community College District; Dr. Ronald Taylor, Vice President of Academic Affairs, Chabot College in Hayward; and Dr. Marianne Tortorici, Deputy Superintendent/Executive Vice President of Instruction and Student Services, Victor Valley College.

Candidates for Bakersfield College’s President position will participate in open forums where they will greet the campus and community.  These forums are part of the screening process for a potential president.  The forums will be held in the Fireside Room at Bakersfield College on April 21 and 22.  The schedule of forums is:
 
April 21
1:30 – 2:30 p.m. – Dr. Marianne Tortorici 
3:00 – 4:00 p.m. – Dr. Ronald Taylor
 
April 22
1:30 – 2:30 p.m. – Dr. Greg Chamberlain
 
The open forums will be moderated by Bakersfield College Reference Librarian Marci Lingo, and will begin with introductions of the candidate, after which the candidate will be asked a standard set of questions and will then answer any additional questions from the audience.
 
The Kern Community College District plans to have Bakersfield College’s new president named within the next month and ready to step in to their new role when current president Dr. Bill Andrews retires on July 1.
