NASHVILLE — Dr. William Seymour, vice president for institutional advancement at Jackson State Community College in Jackson, Tenn., will be recommended as the next president of Cleveland State Community College, according to Tennessee Board of Regents Chancellor John Morgan.

If approved Dec. 5 by that board, Seymour will become president on Jan. 2 and succeed Dr. Carl Hite, who will resign in December after serving as Cleveland State’s president for 17 years.

Seymour was one of four finalists in a nationwide search for Cleveland State’s next president.

“We are fortunate to have someone with Dr. Seymour’s extensive leadership experience and expertise available for this opportunity at Cleveland State,” Morgan said in a news release. “An innovative educator, accomplished administrator and effective fund raiser, he is expected to provide an expansive overview to the college’s strategic planning.”
