Madisonville Community College will soon have a new president. Three finalists visited campus this week as the final stage of the search process.

All three finalists serve as the chief academic officer of their current institutions.

Sherry Zylka comes from Wayne County Community College in Detroit Michigan, Cynthia Stewart Kelley of Motlow State Community College in Gallatin Tennessee and Ted Lewis of Pellissippi State Community College in East Tennessee.

The three candidates are vying to replace Judith Rhoads who retired during this academic year.

The college's board hopes to make a decision on the finalists to allow for a July 1 start date.
