For the second time this week, it has been announced that Superintendent-President of Long Beach City College, Reagan Romali is one of three finalists for a presidential position, this time at North Hennepin Community College, in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, according to CCX Media.
North Hennepin Community College has a population of 9,742 students as of 2018.
Current president, Barbara McDonald, resigned for a position at the College of St. Scholastica.
This news came days after an announcement on Feb. 6 that Romali was up for another position at a different “LBCC,” Linn-Benton Community College in Oregon, as reported by the Gazette Times.
She was recently a top contender for a position at Miami Dade College in July 2019, a process that ultimately left her out of contention following a controversy surrounding comments she made during her interview.
Romali has previously served as President of Harry S. Truman College from 2011 to 2017, as Associate Dean of the Community College of Qatar, a Houston Community College District campus, from 2010 to 2011, and as Vice President of Business Services at Moreno Valley College from 2008 to 2010.
Superintendent-president Romali is being considered along with Jesse Mason and Rolando Garcia.
Mason is an internal candidate who has served as Provost/Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs at North Hennepin Community College since 2018.
The third finalist in the race, Rolando García has served at Broward College as President of the Judson A. Samuels South Campus and Vice Provost of Academic Resources since 2015.
Romali has been Superintendent-President of the Long Beach Community College District since 2017.
A decision could potentially be made by March, with the new president expected to begin their tenure on July 1st, 2020.
Romali is scheduled to visit the North Hennepin Community College campus on February 18th.
Public relations has not immediately responded for comment.
