Cleveland State is making history with the hiring of its seventh President, Dr. Ty Stone, the first female president of the college. She is also the first African-American president for the college. With almost three weeks as the leader of Cleveland State under her belt, President Stone has had to hit the ground running. During a recent town hall meeting to the college, Stone delivered a presentation titled “The College, the Community and the Culture: The Making of a Cleveland State Community College Cougar” where she shared a glimpse into her background, her leadership values, as well as transition priorities for the first semester.
After a national search and campus forums for four finalists, Tennessee Board of Regents Chancellor Flora W. Tydings recommended Stone for appointment as the next president of Cleveland State to the Tennessee Board of Regents at a special called meeting on May 25.
Stone is the former president of Jefferson Community College in Watertown, N.Y., and was one of four finalists for the Cleveland State presidency selected by an 18-member search committee composed of board members and representatives of the campus community. Stone succeeded Dr. Bill Seymour, who retired this summer after leading Cleveland State for 8½ years and more than 43 years in higher education administration.
