Three semifinalists under consideration to be president of Northwest Technical College and Bemidji State University – Rodney Hanley, Faith Hensrud and Al Thompson – visited Bemidji March 21-23. 

The candidates were recommended by a search advisory committee comprised of students, faculty, staff, and community leaders and chaired by Connie Gores, president of Southwest Minnesota State University. The campus visits provided an opportunity for students, faculty and staff at both institutions, along with members of the Bemidji community, to meet each candidate and offer feedback.

Local media coverage of the semifinalists’ visits from the Bemidji Pioneer and Lakeland Public Television is archived on Storify:
