Southeast Community College Board members start new term

BEATRICE – Four reelected board members for Southeast Community College were sworn-in Tuesday to serve additional terms.

The oath was given at a Milford Campus SCC Board meeting. Board members reelected who took the oath included Arlyn Uhrmacher, James Sherwood, Kristin Yates and Neal Stenberg, all of Lincoln. Reelected Board member Kathy Boellstorff of Johnson could not attend, due to illness…and will be sworn into office at a later day.

The SCC Board of Governors unanimously reelected Arlyn Uhrmacher as Chairman, and James Sherwood as Vice-Chairman. Brandon Gunther of Hickman was elected as the board’s Secretary….and Kristin Yates, as Treasurer.

Southeast Community College has tacked on another enrollment increase, at its three campuses.
College President Dr. Paul Illich says the most recent information is preliminary, for the Spring semester….but enrollment appears to have increased about 12-percent from last Spring. Illich says the figure a year ago was also up about 12-percent from the prior Spring Semester. The total enrollment figure for S-C-C is about 10,600 students.

Southeast has hired a new Associate Vice President for the Milford Campus of the College….Jonathan Kisby.
"Thank you so much for the opportunity. Nineteen and a half years I've been here as an employee...faculty and then a dean and now this position. That does not include the two years I was here as a student back in the early nineties. It's been a big part of my life and I'm looking forward to the next phase."

Kisby’s hiring fills a vacancy at the campus, with the retirement of Campus Director Ed Koster.
