New HutchCC president reaching career goal
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson Community College President Dr. Tricia Paramore has known for a long time that she wanted to lead in higher education. "When I was in graduate school at the University of Kansas, my aspiration was to go into higher education teaching and then ultimately administration," Paramore said. "I had a mentor who was really just a great model for me going into a provost type of position and then ultimately a university president and I thought at one point that's what I want to do. So I started off using my degrees in biology and genetics as a faculty member here at the college in 1996. It's when I was hired and did that for about 10 years. I loved it. I still think teaching is the best gig in higher education and then about 10 years in I had the opportunity to become the department chair, which is kind of like what most people think of as a dean, right? Most schools call it a dean position and was in that position for about 17 years and then almost two years ago I moved into the role of the vice president of academic affairs and then this summer I began as the president and you know that president position opened up a little sooner than I was expecting, but here we are."
