Dr. Michael D. Redmond Confirmed as Newest Member of Delaware Tech Board of Trustees
DELAWARE —Dr. Michael D. Redmond, retired president of Bergen Community College, has been nominated by Gov. Matt Meyer and confirmed by the Delaware State Senate to serve a three-year term on the Board of Trustees for Delaware Technical Community College.
“Dr. Redmond brings to Delaware Tech more than 30 years of experience working in various community college leadership roles,” said Board Chairman Nancy Shevock. “We look forward to his contributions to our Board of Trustees as we focus on the College’s mission to put students at the center of everything we do while responding to workforce and community needs.”
Dr. Redmond most recently served as the president of Bergen Community College in New Jersey, a position he held until his retirement in 2020. His administrative career at Bergen Community College began in 1987 when he served as assistant dean for humanities and instructional services. From there, he served as dean of arts and humanities; chief information officer; vice president for technology and information services; vice president for technology, information services, assessment, and institutional effectiveness; and executive vice president before being named president in 2017. He also taught philosophy and religion at Bergen Community College, and prior to joining the College, he was an adjunct professor at Seton Hall University, Drew Seminary, and Rutgers University.
Dr. Redmond holds a Bachelor of Biblical Studies from Northeastern Bible College, a Master of Arts in Philosophy from Rutgers University, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Theological and Religious Studies. A resident of Sussex County, he is a member of the Rehoboth Beach Kiwanis Club and a readers theater group, the Spoken Word Society, sponsored by the Lewes Public Library.
Dr. Redmond will fill the seat held by Lolita Lopez, who has served on the Delaware Tech Board of Trustees for just over nine years. The College very much appreciates her steadfast leadership and measured and thoughtful guidance on key issues, such as health care and workforce priorities, during her years of service to Delaware Tech.
