The Board of Trustees at Independence Community College prepares to begin the search for a new school president.

 At last night's ICC Board of Trustees meeting, College President Vincent Bowhay resigned to take a new position at Highland community College in northeast Kansas. Trustee Mark Lasater says the board accepted his resignation and appreciate his service to the college.

Bowhay called his resignation the right decision for him at this time and said he is greateful for the support of the trustee over his five year tenure at ICC. The board will now begin the search to find a new president for the college. Bowhay will remain in his current position at ICC until the end of June.
