Former Bergen Community College President G. Jeremiah “Jerry” Ryan, ousted last summer after a power struggle with County Executive Kathleen Donovan, has been appointed a senior vice president at the 16-school Louisiana Community and Technical College System.
Ryan will be in charge of workforce, career and technical education for the system, according to a press release issued by the organization last week. In that role he will work closely with the business community.
Ryan was known as a consummate schmoozer during his four-year tenure at Bergen, and was an outgoing promoter of the state’s largest community college. He presided over enrollment growth and capital expansion at BCC, including the opening of the Meadowlands campus in Lyndhurst.
