The finalists will participate in open forums at Gavilan College’s Gilroy campus, room Social Sciences 214 (SS 214), 5055 Santa Teresa Blvd., on May 18.
The schedule will be as follows:

• Claudia Lourido-Habib, 2:30-3:30pm, who is currently president of Porterville College.

“As my retirement date approaches, I want to thank the search committee and our Human Resources Department for working under a very tight timeline to do a national search, conduct many interviews and produce three finalists,” said outgoing Superintendent/President Kathleen Rose. “The forums are a fantastic opportunity for our community to participate in this especially important process of selecting your next superintendent/president.”
