Q&A with Janice Gilliam, president, Northeast State
Over the last decade, Northeast State Technical Community College has established a reputation in the Tri-Cities business community for going the extra mile to help business create jobs. Programs specifically designed to help individual employers have been put in place to address workforce development issues in the region. Under the administration of former president Dr. William Locke, Northeast State grew from the status of being just another community college to being an integral part of the community.
With Dr. Locke’s retirement last month, Northeast State entered a new era: the Gilliam administration. Dr. Janice Gilliam (pronounced Gill’-am) took office August 3. Gilliam was most recently vice president of Student Development Services for Haywood Community College in Clyde, N.C., where both she and the college were active in the local business community. She has 18 years experience in higher education and nine in administration. The Business Journal visited Dr. Gilliam in her office at HCC shortly after the Tennessee Board of Regents confirmed her appointment to Northeast State.
