Leading NICC: Deep Roots, Bold Future (Part 1)
In part one of a special 60th anniversary edition of The Catalyst, host Amy Lasack brings together three generations of NICC leadership for a roundtable discussion. Former presidents Rob Denson and Dr. Liang Chee Wee join current president Dave Dahms to reflect on their unique journeys to the College, ranging from private sector finance and law to academic administration.
Together, they share insights into how NICC has evolved over the decades, highlighting key milestones like the expansion of high school dual-enrollment, career academies and Iowa’s Dairy Center. From steering NICC through economic recessions and the pandemic to shaping regional workforce development, these leaders offer a rare look at the resilience, people and community-driven mission that define the College’s past and present.
