Dr. Kress Selected to Lead Northern Virginia Community College
Dr. Anne M. Kress has accepted the opportunity to become Northern Virginia
Community College's next president (release
). Please find below statements from MCC Board of Trustees Chairperson Dr.
Barbara P. Lovenheim and Dr. Kress.
"The Board congratulates Dr. Kress on her new appointment and thanks her for
a decade of exemplary service to MCC. Our College and community have benefited
greatly from her leadership. Dr. Kress's dedication to our mission and our
students is among the reasons MCC is one of the nation's top community
colleges. Now, as she begins the process of transitioning to her new role at
Northern Virginia Community College, which begins January 6, the Board is
committed to guaranteeing a smooth leadership transition at our College. The
Trustees will first work with SUNY to identify an interim leader who can assure
MCC's tradition of excellence and student success continues. The Board will
then take the time necessary to work with our College community in developing a
robust, inclusive, and open search process to recruit and select our next
president. As Board Chair, I will keep the MCC community informed and engaged
throughout this important process, so please look for regular updates in the
Daily Tribune. If you have any questions, please forward them to Linda
Hall, Secretary to the Board of Trustees."

"I am incredibly grateful to MCC and to the Board of Trustees for the
remarkable opportunity I have had to lead this inspiring College. MCC's success
has always been a shared one: it begins with our amazing students, then is
nurtured by our talented faculty and staff, fostered by our outstanding
administrators, stewarded by dedicated trustees, and supported by a generous
community. I have loved every minute of my decade at MCC and been so very proud
to represent our College every day. In the weeks ahead, I am committed to
assisting with MCC's leadership transition so that the work that you do on
behalf of our College continues to be supported and strengthened. Again, thank
you for the past ten years and for your commitment to MCC's vision, mission,
and values."
