Presidential Search at Renton Technical College

[RTC campus showing building I during a sunny summer day]

The Renton Technical College Board of Trustees invites applications and nominations for the position of President

This is an exciting leadership opportunity at a nationally recognized technical college. Candidates should be passionate about serving a diverse study body, eliminating systemic inequities, and continuing the College's commitment to innovation that removes barriers for students. The president is the College's chief executive officer and reports to a five-member Board of Trustees. The president will succeed Dr. Kevin McCarthy, who has provided distinguished leadership to the College since 2015 and will retire in June 2022.

Renton Technical College is consistently ranked as among the top two-year colleges in the country for its commitment to student success and equity. We are a vibrant, diverse and inclusive community that welcomes students from all backgrounds and empowers them for success. Our student body is 69 percent students of color, and we welcome immigrants, veterans, high school students, and students with disabilities - anyone who wants to succeed in college. Our 66 percent completion rate is the highest in the state among community and technical colleges - and among the highest in the country. And 82 percent of our graduates are employed nine months after graduation.

The new president will lead one of the outstanding technical colleges in the country. Recent recognition has raised Renton Technical College's profile even higher, including:
*        $5 million unrestricted gift from MacKenzie Scott and Scott Jewett;
*        Instructor Don Mee Choi receiving a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship;
*        Two Washington State Association of College Trustees (ACT) Faculty Member of the Year award recipients;
*        Consistent recognition from the Aspen Institute; and designation as America's No.1 college for adult learners by Washington Monthly.

Renton Technical College's Board of Trustees will consider educational background, professional experience, accomplishments, reputation, and character in selecting a new President. Successful candidates will possess an equity-focused mindset and the ability to lead institutional change that promotes the College's growth. Leading candidates will understand the important role of technical education in preparing learners for employment and meeting workforce needs. A strong record of achievement, including senior-level administrative experience in technical colleges, comprehensive community colleges, other post-secondary institutions, and/or business, industry, government, or nonprofit organizations is required. Earned Doctorate preferred; Master's required.

*        A risk-taker who inspires creativity and innovation and who recognizes the efforts and achievements of staff, administrators and faculty; a team player and team builder who is able to develop effective teams throughout the college and to motivate others to achieve success;
