In a 4-0-3 vote, the College of DuPage Board of Trustees elected Ann Rondeau as the president of the college. Her term is effective starting July 1. Interim President Joseph Collins will return to his post as executive vice president of the college.

“One candidate truly stood out to me during the search committee interviews, the public forums and the COD board interviews, and that was Dr. Ann Rondeau,” said Trustee Frank Napolitano. “Dr. Rondeau has served this country with great distinction as vice admiral of the U.S. Navy. She did truly exceptional work turning around the Great Lakes Naval Service Training Command. She also served as the president of the National Defense University in Washington D.C., where many of America’s finest officers and military leaders are trained.”
