President Appointed for River Valley Community College

The Board of Trustees of the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) has appointed Alfred Williams, IV as president of River Valley Community College in Claremont. Williams started July 1.

“We are very pleased to appoint Alfred Williams to the presidency of River Valley Community College,” says Jeremy Hitchcock, chairman of the CCSNH board. “We were particularly impressed with the breadth of Alfred’s expertise in all facets of college operations, his commitment to student success, and his affinity for rural institutions that serve a diverse student population and a base of small- and medium-sized employers that operate in an economy that is highly local in workforce development needs, while increasingly global in skills attainment.”

“When I started working at a community college, I found my true professional calling,” Williams says. “Community colleges change lives. When students receive that degree or certificate and graduate prepared for a fulfilling career or to take the next step on their educational pathway, we see the transformative affect of a student-centered college education. Being part of those successes inspires me every day to advocate for students and ensure we provide the best experience possible for them. And we do this in a cost-effective way for the students and taxpayers.”

“Alfred Williams showed a deep understanding and appreciation for the role River Valley Community College plays for the communities it serves and strong commitment to student success, and he has a strong track record on both leading and collaborating to achieve institutional goals,” says Gittell. “He has delivered innovative strategies and strong results on student financial aid, enrollment and retention, program development, and building partnerships with area employers.”
