An experienced higher education executive from Arizona has been tapped to lead Virginia’s system of 23 community colleges after a lengthy search.

The State Board for Community Colleges announced it has hired David Doré to serve as the next chancellor of the Virginia Community College System.

He holds multiple advanced degrees and has worked with community college students for 27 years.

The search process for the role restarted last summer after Governor  Glenn Youngkin raised concerns about the process and a previously selected candidate opted not to take the job.
