Dr. Sarah Clemmons named Interim President

Dr. Sarah Clemmons, Senior Vice President of Instruction, was named Interim President of the college following the
resignation of former college President Dr. Jason Hurst on Oct. 18.
In meetings with all college employees on Oct. 25, Dr. Clemmons said,

“I am honored to have been asked to lead the college. Your help and support are important to the college.”

She asked for all employees to work together in the college’s ten-year re-accreditation process which will culminate
with an on-site visit from a Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Review Team in October 2017.
Dr. Clemmons is currently the chief academic officer for the college with responsibility over all academic and workforce
instructional programs. She also oversees the college’s accreditation, grants, assessment and academic support programs.
Dr. Clemmons came to Chipola in 1979 as an English instructor and became Division Chair of the Lit/Lang Division
rising through the ranks. She helped start the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) and was instrumental in establishing
Bachelor’s Degree programs at Chipola beginning in 2003.
Dr. Clemmons is a native of Marianna, and is an alumnus of Marianna High School, Chipola College, University of West Florida, Troy University
and Florida State University.
The Chipola District Board of Trustees recommended that Dr. Clemmons serve as interim president of the college through June 30, 2017.
