Michael Marcotte, chair of Lethbridge College’s Board of Governors said, “with academics at the core of our business, and Samantha’s exemplary work over nearly five years as Provost and Vice President – Academic, the Board of Governors agreed she was a great fit to take over this role.”

“Supported by the other members of our very strong Executive Leadership Team – Coreen Roth and Dr. Kenny Corscadden – we know Lethbridge College is in great hands and will continue to move forward as we move ahead with the search for the next President and CEO of Lethbridge College,” Marcotte added.

In a news release from the college, Lenci stated, “I am passionate about the work we have done here at Lethbridge College during Dr. Burns’ time as president, and I look forward to the opportunity to continue moving forward during this exciting time in Lethbridge College’s history.”

She continued, “we are committed to being a strong community partner in Lethbridge, in southern Alberta and with local Indigenous communities, as well as continuing to lead by providing meaningful and relevant education.”

The college noted that the search for its ninth President and CEO is underway, with a successful candidate expected to be announced in late June or early July. Updates on the search process are available at the Lethbridge College website.
