Northwest Vista College president Dr. Ric N. Baser announces his retirement.
“I have loved being your president more than any other job I have ever held,” Baser wrote in a letter to students, faculty, and staff.
NVC is the second-largest community college in San Antonio, Texas, and a part of The Alamo Colleges District. NVC was recognized by Hispanic Outlook on Education 2021 as one of the best community colleges for a Latinx student. NVC qualifies as a Hispanic-serving institution (HSI)—as of 2020, Latinx students made up 64% of the student body.
“Under Dr. Baser’s leadership, NVC gained local, regional and national recognition,” said Dr. Mike Flores, chancellor of The Alamo Colleges District.
Baser will retire on June 1 of this year, and a nationwide search for his successor plans to have a new president in place by fall 2022.
