Genesee Community College Board Chair Charles R. Ruffino named an 11-member Presidential Search Committee at the Board of Trustees' monthly meeting Monday.

College President Stuart Steiner announced six weeks ago that he plans to
retire effective Aug. 31, 2011 after 45 years of service.

Named to the Presidential Search Committee were:

  • Diane D. Torcello, college trustee and secretary of the Board of Trustees, who will serve as committee chair; Michael A. Crittenden, professor of Physics and chair of Genesee's Faculty Senate;
  • Norbert J. Fuest, director of Human Resources, Morton International, Inc., and a member of the Genesee Community College Foundation Board of Directors;
  • Norman R. Gayford, professor of English;
  • Ada D. Grabowski, retired Albion school superintendent;
  • Laurie J. Miller, college trustee;
  • Glenn R. Morton, college trustee;
  • Lori A. Mould, student trustee;
  • Michael S. Stoll, assistant vice president for Academic Affairs and
    dean of Math, Science, and Career Education;
  • Raymond J. Strzelecki, Building Maintenance supervisor;
  • and Charles N. Zambito, Genesee County attorney.

Ruffino and Robert J. Bausch, Genesee County Legislative liaison to the
college, will serve as ex-officio members.

The committee will guide the search process for Genesee's fourth president, review the backgrounds of candidates, arrange for finalist candidates to visit the campus, and recommend three to five finalists to the board of trustees.
