The Tennessee Board of Regents will hold a special called meeting Wednesday, Aug. 6 to consider the appointment of the next president of Walters State Community College and to receive a notice of proposed changes to the TBR Bylaws.
The board will receive and consider approval of Chancellor Flora W. Tydings’ recommendation of Dr. Saul Reyes for the Walters State presidency. Dr. Reyes is currently vice president for enrollment management and student affairs at the College of Central Florida.
Dr. Reyes is one of one of three finalists for the WSCC presidency selected by a 16-member search advisory committee composed of four Board of Regents members, representatives of the college’s students, faculty, staff and alumni, and civic and business leaders from the community. The finalists participated in public forums on the Morristown campus July 21-23.
After the forums, Chancellor Tydings reviewed input submitted from the public and the campus community and conducted more interviews to select one candidate for recommendation to the board.
Dr. Reyes earned an Ed.D. in higher education leadership at the University of South Florida, a master of arts in counseling at West Virginia University, and a bachelor of science in youth ministries and biblical studies at Gordon College.
