Each candidate will get one hour to speak during two public open forums slated for Tuesday in Hilo and Wednesday in Kona. The Hilo event is set for 11 a.m.-3:45 p.m. Tuesday at HCC in Building 379’s Kaneikeao Room. The Kona session is scheduled for 9 a.m.-1:45 p.m. Wednesday at the Palamanui campus in Room B-125.
The candidates are:
• Larry Buckley, president of Canada College in California.
• Micheal Glisson, an administrator at South Louisiana Community College.
• Anthony Munroe, president and CEO of Munroe Management Group LLC in Illinois.
• Rachel Solemsaas, vice president for finance and administrative services at Truckee Meadows Community College in Nevada.
Candidates were selected by a 19-member screening committee that included HCC faculty, administrators and community members.
The person selected will replace interim chancellor Joni Onishi starting July 1.
