Multiple U.S. higher education systems reported top leadership appointments and transitions, including a new president for Cal State San Bernardino and a selection to lead the North Carolina Community College System. The California State University Board of Trustees appointed S. Terri Gomez as president of Cal State San Bernardino, starting Aug. 3, after her provost role at Cal Poly Pomona. In North Carolina, the State Board of Community Colleges selected Monty Sullivan to lead the statewide system of more than 600,000 students across 58 colleges; his nomination is headed to the General Assembly for confirmation. Averett University selected Tatia Daniels Granger as its 17th president, effective Aug. 1, and the story also notes a planned transition for Utah Valley University with Jon Anderson moving to lead the institution on Aug. 10. These moves matter for institutional strategy on enrollment management, graduation outcomes, workforce partnerships and—where relevant—systemwide budget and compliance priorities, especially as campuses navigate policy and operational uncertainty.
