Northwest State Community College has formally announced its new Dean of the Van Wert campus, Dr. Jon Tomlinson. Tomlinson is the first official hire for the forthcoming Van Wert campus. Dr. Tomlinson earned his Doctorate of Organizational Leadership from Regent University. Dr. Tomlinson most recently held the position of Dean and professor at Ohio Christian University. His first official day as dean will be July 5, 2022.
“The biggest thing for the citizens of Van Wert is going to be convenience,” Tomlinson said of the forthcoming Van Wert campus. “Having the convenience of a public (college) right in our hometown is really the key, and I think that’s going to be the biggest selling point for Northwest State. It is going to be our campus…it is going to be in our hometown.” Tomlinson noted he is looking forward to visiting the schools and the local communities to promote Northwest State, and to serving businesses and learners through NSCC programs.
