Lester McCorn who has become Clinton College’s 13th president says he’s focused on growth. In a published report, McCorn says the year ahead will bring facility upgrades, new facilities, an expansion of the college’s athletics program, additional on-campus housing as well as other changes.
He also says this year Clinton has the largest incoming freshman class in its history with 150 new students. Clinton College will launch a capital campaign this year to pay for upgrades, improve programs and create scholarships.
McCorn said the plan is to build facilities that can be used for both on-campus housing and classroom space. McCorn has led the college as acting president for the past year.
Former president Elaine Copeland retired earlier this year after being placed on paid administrative leave. Copeland led the school for 16 years.
