VERSAILLES, Ky. (May 16, 2013) —Dr. F. Lynn Moore has been appointed the new president of Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College (SKCTC), according to Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) President Michael B. McCall.
After consideration of three candidates, the SKCTC Board of Directors unanimously recommended Moore for the position.
“Dr. Moore is the best candidate for the job,” said Board Chair Reecie Stagnolia. “She has a lot to offer this area and the Southeast Board, Foundation, faculty and students all gave her high marks.”
Moore has served as the vice president for student development at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon since 2008, and took on an additional role as vice president of administrative services in 2011.

“Dr. Moore brings a range of skills and experience to the position,” McCall said.
Moore earned a doctorate of philosophy in educational administration from the Community College Leadership Program at The University of Texas at Austin. She holds a master’s degree in business administration from Baker College with a concentration in human resource management and a Bachelor of Science degree in business management from the University of Phoenix. Moore is a member of the American Association for Women in Community Colleges (AAWCC) and has experience in community service and fundraising for a variety of organizations.
“SKCTC is indeed one of the ‘Nation’s Top 10 Community Colleges,’” Moore said. “It will be a privilege to work with many local professionals to ensure a seamless transition of leadership.”
Moore will begin serving as president effective July 8, following the retirement of long-time SKCTC president Dr. Bruce Ayers.
