Butler County Community College has found their next Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Dr. Belinda M. Richardson started last week as BC3’s chief academic officer. Her responsibilities include supervising academic programs and faculty as well as educational technology and distance education. She will also provide leadership in the areas of assessment, research and planning, workforce development and selected grants.
Richardson comes to the college following time spent at Cuyahoga Community College’s Metropolitan campus in Cleveland as Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs.
“We are so excited for Dr. Richardson to join the BC3 team,” BC3 President Dr. Nick Neupauer, BC3 President said in a statement. “She brings a great deal of experience and expertise. She was selected from a very deep applicant pool in a national search. I am confident Dr. Richardson will be a great addition to the college and the community as a whole.”
Richardson succeeds Dr. Bruce Russell who retired last month after serving as interim Vice President of Academic Affairs since July of 2015. BC3’s search for a replacement lasted four months and included candidates from across the country.
