Peninsula: College president says partnerships will help build school

PORT ANGELES — New Peninsula College President Thomas Keegan says he wants the North Olympic Peninsula community help him develop a vision for the school.

“It is too early for me to state a vision for the college,” Keegan said.

“I want to develop a shared vision by gathering information from those who know the college.”

Speaking to members of the Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce on Monday at the Port Angeles CrabHouse restaurant, Keegan discussed his ideas for the college and how he plans to develop that vision.

“The college is not able to serve this community without partnerships,” the 42-year-old Keegan said. “The college has to listen to the community, and together we can develop a college that serves everyone.”

He said he wants community, student and staff feedback.
