Dr. Chuck Lloyd is scheduled to take over as chancellor of the Community College System of New Hampshire on Aug. 24, following the retirement of Dr. Mark Rubinstein. Lloyd has served as the vice chancellor since 2023.
A lifelong Granite Stater and graduate of Franklin High School, Lloyd received bachelor’s degree in teacher certification and physical education from Keene State College before completing a master of education at Plymouth State University. He left New Hampshire to earn a Ph.D. in education with a concentration in higher education administration at Northeastern University, but he returned to his home state to start his career.
Before his time as vice chancellor, Lloyd was the president of White Mountains Community College, which was named a top community college in the U.S. by the Aspen Institute during his tenure. While he was there, he also garnered funding from federal, state and philanthropic investors to obtain the Littleton Academic Center and improve access to the Diesel Heavy Equipment Technology Program.
In 2024, he served a brief term as interim president of Manchester Community College during a leadership transition.
Among other accolades, Lloyd made the Union Leader’s “Forty Under 40” list in 2016 and the NH Business Review’s “New Hampshire 200” list in 2024. He has taught leadership, education and management at various levels, in addition to coaching intercollegiate athletic programs.
Donnalee Lozeau, the chair of the Community College System’s Board of Trustees, led the search for the next chancellor. The board unanimously endorsed Lloyd’s selection.
“CCSNH — its students, mission, and talented faculty and staff — has been at the center of my professional life for more than two decades,” Lloyd said. “I am eager to address the opportunities, as well as the challenges before us from CCSNH’s role in the Governor’s Office of New Opportunities & Rural Transformational Health (GO-NORTH) initiatives, to our momentum supporting the skilled trades and high-demand workforce pipeline across the Granite State, to ensuring strong educational pathways for students of all ages, backgrounds and aspirations.”
