Jackson State University alumna Dr. Larissa Littleton-Steib was unanimously selected as the chancellor of Baton Rouge Community College, effective Jan. 2, 2017, by the Louisiana Community and Technical College System (LCTCS) Board of Supervisors.
“I am honored to be selected as the next chancellor of Baton Rouge Community College,” said Littleton-Steib, who has more than twenty years of experience in education.
Dr. Monty Sullivan, LCTCS president, made the recommendation to the board during its monthly meeting. The recommendation was made after a comprehensive and competitive national search that included on-campus interviews and public forums with students, faculty, staff and community members.
“On behalf of the Board of Supervisors, I want to congratulate Dr. Littleton-Steib on her selection as the new chancellor of BRCC,” said Mickey Murphy, LCTCS board supervisor and chair of the search committee.
“We were impressed by the knowledge and experiences of each finalist. After a thorough vetting process, we believe Dr. Littleton-Steib is the perfect fit for the students, the college and the community it serves and she will continue leading our efforts to deliver world-class academic and workforce training,” he said.
Currently serving as the Vice Chancellor for Workforce Development and Technical Education at Delgado Community Colege, Littleton-Steib thanked the LCTS Board of Supervisors and President Dr. Monty Sullivan for their confidence in her.
“I can’t wait to meet and work alongside the outstanding students, faculty, staff of Baton Rouge Community College and the business community in the Capital City region,” she said.
