Chancellor Communications

Regrettably, I write to inform you that Dr. Kurt Ewen, our colleague, and friend, passed away Saturday morning after a lengthy battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

Today is the 20th anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, please join me in pausing to reflect on how our nation was transformed on that day of unimaginable tragedy.

I assume the role of Interim Chancellor of the Houston Community College (HCC) System with a keen sense of purpose and gratitude to the HCC Board of Trustees for the confidence placed in me indicated by this appointment. I welcome the opportunity to work with the outstanding HCC faculty and staff to effect positive change in the lives of students and the community.

Long-time Houston Community College administrator Margaret Ford Fisher, Ed.D., has taken the helm as HCC’s interim chancellor. She will serve in that capacity as the HCC governing board completes a national search to identify a permanent chancellor.
