Jan Lindsay, president of North Island College for the past four years, announced this week she will retire in May. "While this decision has been prompted by my desire to spend time with our rapidly growing cadre of grandchildren ... I have mixed emotions because I very much enjoy working with our students and all the extremely talented individuals at North Island College and serving on the college board of governors," Lindsay said in a statement. "At the same time, I feel that in the four academic years I will have been at the college, I will have accomplished all of my goals regarding enrollment growth, program diversification, expanded community, industry and post-secondary education partnerships, internationalization and applied research development that I held when I first came to the college." Board of governors chairman Bruce Calder said recruiting a new president is underway.
