Kate Ferrel will be taking over the position in July.
“I am so incredibly honored to be given this opportunity to lead this institution,” said Ferrel.
Ferrel started with Nicolet College in 2014 as the Dean of Students.
She then went on to serve as vice president of Student Affairs and eventually to her current position as executive vice president of Academic and Student Affairs.
Ferrel told WXPR she has several priorities.
They include continuing the college’s pandemic recovery and getting out into the communities to see how Nicolet College can fill the needs of businesses in the district.
“I’d like to get out and about to the district and understand what sort of problems people are trying to solve and maybe find a way where Nicolet College can be a part of finding a solution for them and the problems they’re encountering,” she said.
