On Wednesday, Nov. 20, from 1-4 p.m., a thank you celebration honoring President Cynthia Bioteau will be held in the Student Center Oak Room at Taylorsville Redwood Campus. There will be a short program honoring President Bioteau at 3 p.m. which all students, faculty and staff are welcome to attend.
Bioteau has currently accepted the position of district president for Florida State College in Jacksonville beginning January 2014.
“President Bioteau is a pragmatic leader who makes good and hard decisions when they need to be made. She is passionate about student access and success, and the mission of a comprehensive community college. She is compassionate about the people she works with and the students that attend the institution. She leads by great example and she will be missed,” says Joy Tlou, Salt Lake Community College’s public relations director.
Bioteau has served as president of SLCC since 2005. According to her biographical information on the Presidents Page, Bioteau has been the recipient of many prestigious awards including one of the top 100 influential women in Utah.
According to SLCC math tutor Tifanie Pulley, Bioteau blends in with students really well because she does not show power or control and listens to what people are saying.
This thank you celebration will give many individuals a chance to honor Bioteau and her contributions to SLCC.
“She has been a strong advocate for developmental education and I have really appreciated it,” says Mark Glines, SLCC associate professor of the math department.
An interim president will likely be announced before the end of November.
