Bob Knight appointed
CEO at Clark College

 

Bob Knight has been appointed acting chief executive officer at Clark College, a position he will hold until an interim president is selected, the college board of trustees decided yesterday.

Knight has been the vice president of administrative services at Clark since joining the institution from private industry in 2004.

Clark’s five trustees are about to begin a search, expected to take as long as a year, to find a new president for the community college after the trustees earlier this summer decided not to extend Wayne Branch’s contract after three years at the helm as president. Branch will remain at the college until October but will not be assigned duties that will not require him to be on campus.

Knight is a retired army Lieutenant Colonel. His last assignment before retiring was as commander of Vancouver Barracks. Knight has also had experience as a vice president for sales and service in the dental industry and as a corporate manager of real estate for Consolidated Freightways.

Knight received his undergraduate degree from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and earned an executive MBA at Golden Gate University, San Francisco.
