The Bucks County Community College Board of Trustees has hired Dr. Stephanie Shanblatt as the new College President.

She has spent the last 13 years as provost at a community college in Lansing, Michigan, and she succeeds Dr. James Linksz, who retires in October after 20 years as President.

A search has been going on since he announced his retirement last fall.  Board of Trustees Chairman Blake Eisenhart says she will continue to move the college forward with a strong vision and a commitment to the students, faculty, alumni, staff and the community.
