Education Board Approves Three New Presidents

By Associated Press

Montgomery, AL – The State Board of Education has approved three out-of-state educators to serve as presidents of Bevill State, Gadsden State and Lurleen B. Wallace community colleges in Alabama.

The board on Thursday approved Anne McNutt for Bevill State in Sumiton. McNutt recently ended a 21-year career as president of the Technical College of the Lowcountry in Beaufort, S.C.

The board voted for Herbert Riedel to become president of Wallace in Andalusia. Riedel has been vice president for instruction and student development at Northeast Texas State Community College in Mt. Pleasant.

The board also approved Darryl Harrison for Gadsden State. He has been vice president for academic affairs at West Georgia Technical College in LaGrange.

The three were recommended by Postsecondary Chancellor Bradley Byrne.
