Vance-Granville Community College’s new vice president of Learning, Student Engagement and Success will start her new job next week.
Dr. Kim Sepich has been named to the position, and said she pleased to be a part of VGCC.
“I am incredibly excited about serving Vance-Granville Community College and feel fortunate to have the opportunity,” Sepich said in a press release.
“The college’s dedication to student success and meeting community needs is what drew me to the position. It is clear that VGCC is indeed a catalyst for creating opportunity for individuals and employers, and I’m looking forward to contributing to its mission.”
She most recently was director of College Services at the N.C. State University Belk Center for Community College Leadership and Research.

Additionally, she currently serves as lead facilitator for the NC Community College Leadership Program.

Sepich has a bachelor’s of science from East Carolina and a master’s degree in student development and a doctorate in educational leadership from Appalachian State University.
