The principal of the Nova Scotia Community College‘s Strait Area Campus says the school is in good hands.
Tom Gunn has been chosen as Dean of the School of Trades and Transportation for the entire NSCC network; he takes the position March 30.
Gunn tells The Hawk he’s loved his time as principal at the local campus, and he’ll miss the community, but most of his family members are in Halifax now.
“It’s really a decision to stay with the college- a great opportunity presented itself, and I went for it,” he says. “It’s a hard decision for me to leave for sure, but I know there’s lots of good people that can follow in my footsteps.”
Gunn says one of those people is Chris Goyetche, the Strait Area Campus’ academic chair.
He says she’ll serve as interim principal during the search for his permanent replacement.
