(CENTREVILLE) – Glen Oaks Community College has hired a new Vice President of Academics.

The school announced that Dr. Adam Cloutier is the new Vice President of Academics, effective July 1. Cloutier is currently Dean of Arts and Sciences at Lakeland Community College where he has worked since 2018.

Prior to his work at Lakeland, Cloutier held various academic related positions from 2006 to 2018 at Henry Ford College including Director of Academic Affairs, and Director of Teaching and Learning Services. Before that he taught a wide range of math courses.
