Cogswell selects new president

SCBJ Staff

Henry Cogswell College has appointed Homer Garcia its new president.

Garcia, dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Texas-Pan American in Edinburg, Texas, will begin his new job at the downtown Everett campus in mid-March.

The college began looking for a new president when Ron Hundley announced his resignation in July so that he could move to the East Coast to be closer to his family. Hundley will help with the transition.

Hundley guided the college’s move to Everett in 1995, helped it acquire the old Federal Building for its main campus building and weaned it of its dependence on the Boeing Co. for much of its financial support.

Garcia, 52, said he intends to be active in civic activities in Everett.

Garcia earned his doctorate in sociology from Yale University and did his postdoctoral studies in educational policy at Johns Hopkins University.
