“When I applied for the position at Clinton Community College, I thought that it would be an excellent fit for the college and for me and my family,” said Jablonski. “Everything that I’ve seen and heard during the selection process has made me even more sure that this is the place for me.” He explained, “The students, faculty and staff have impressed me with their dedication, their enthusiasm and their kindness. The community leaders that I’ve met are very supportive of the college. They recognize what an asset it is. The trustees, the administration, Interim President Woodward and his wife Carol have made Kelly and me feel like we belong here.”
