Vice President for Student Services

BACKGROUND

Founded in 1975, Mountwest Community &
Technical College, one of nine public institutions of the West Virginia Community & Technical College system, is the westernmost
community college of the Mountain State. Previously an extension of Marshall University, Mountwest became a separate institution in 2008 as
a result of a legislative change. Four years later, in 2012, Mountwest relocated on a “mount” just off of interstate 64. This
Tri-State region of West Virginia, where Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia join in the Ohio River Valley, is perfect placement to attract
students from all three areas. The Institution is an accredited, two-year college offering credit and non-credit programming.
