NMC has lost another friend

Oct 31, 2017 | Intercom, President Updates

Dear College Community:

It is with regret that I share the news of Dr. Lornie Kerr’s passing.  Lornie had a long history of service to NMC beginning as Dean of Students in 1970.  He served as Acting President of NMC in 1986 and retired as Vice President of Student and Administrative Services in 1989.  He was a national leader in international education efforts serving as consultant to or committee chairperson in multiple organizations including the American Association of Community Colleges and the U.S. State Department Bureau of Cultural affairs.

Nancy and I had the privilege of working for and with Lornie during our time here in the 1970s. He was a dedicated professional who cared deeply for students, staff and the college.  He stayed connected to NMC and I was fortunate to have a number of meaningful conversations with him after my appointment as president.  He will be missed.

Visitation is Thursday, November 2, 2017 at the Presbyterian Church from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.  A funeral service will be held on Friday, November 3 at 11 a.m. the the Presbyterian Church with visitation beginning at 10 a.m.
