Three Finalists Announced in COM-FSM Presidential Search

The Board of Regents is proud to announce the three finalist candidates for next President of COM-FSM.

Earlier this year, the Presidential Search committee thoroughly screened all 35 applicants including three from the Micronesian region. In summer 2020, 12 applicants were interviewed in online interviews, of which nine were male and three were female. The Search committee recommended six semi-finalists to the Board of Regents in early September. From these, the Board selected the following three finalists:

• Dr. Johnny Jones, Founder & CEO of the DELTA Project, Madison, Mississippi
• Dr Rafe Edward Trickey Junior, President & CEO of Oceanside Promise, California
• LeGene Quesenberry J.D., Provost and Vice-President of Academic Affairs, The American University of Baghdad, Iraq

The three finalists were invited to virtual visits on Thursday 17th December to meet with faculty, staff, and administrators from across the college campuses. Feedback surveys were requested from all those who interacted with the finalists. The surveys will be reviewed by the Board of Regents prior to their selection of the new COM-FSM President.
