North Idaho College just announced it has offered Priscilla Bell the permanent job of president. Bell was named interim president when NIC President Michael Burke left in late February to become president of San Jose City College. Bell was not one of two finalists chosen recently by the NIC board. However, both those finalists withdrew from consideration because of other job prospects, and Bell was moved up from a semifinalist spot. Bell was president of Highline Community College in Des Moines, Wash., from 2000 to 2006. That school serves about 18,000 students a year. She previously had been president of New York’s Fulton-Montgomery Community College.
