HAFFNER’S UNANIMOUS SELECTION ENDED AN EIGHT MONTH SEARCH BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND A NINETEEN MEMBER SEARCH COMMITTEE. HE WILL REPLACE DR. SARAH PAPPAS, WHO WILL RETIRE AT THE END OF JUNE. THE 47 YEAR OLD HAFNER HAS BEEN AN EDUCATOR FOR 22 YEARS, AND HIS EXPERIENCE AT ST. PETERSBURG COLLEGE WILL SERVE HIM IN GOOD STED, AS THEY HAVE A SIMILAR STRUCTURE AS MCC, WITH 9000 STUDENTS ON MULTIPLE CAMPUSES. MCC HAS ABOUT 10,000 STUDENTS ON CAMPUSES IN BRADENTON, LAKEWOOD RANCH AND VENICE. HAFNER WAS INSTRAMENTAL IN INITIATING PARTNERSHIPS WITH SEVERAL FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITIES, INCLUDING USF AND INDIANA, AND SEES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MCC TO DO THE SAME, INCLUDING OFFERING BACHELOR’S DEGREES IN SELECTED PROGRAMS.
