Jamestown Community College will soon have a new president in place. The State University of New York board of trustees has approved the appointment of Cory L. Duckworth as the next president of JCC. The appointment follows a recommendation by JCC’s board of trustees on May 29 to appoint Dr. Duckworth as president.
Dr. Duckworth, whose appointment is effective September 3, succeeds Gregory T. DeCinque, who has served as JCC’s president since 1994.
Duckworth currently serves as vice president for student affairs at Utah Valley University, a post he has held since 2003. A member of the Utah Bar Association, Dr. Duckworth earned a juris doctorate at the University of Utah College of Law.
SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher said that Dr. Duckworth is an ideal fit for JCC and his leadership will greatly benefit the more than 3,500 students who enroll at JCC each.
