IRONWOOD - The Gogebic Community College (GCC) Board of Trustees approved the resignation of President, Chris Patritto, effective July 1, 2026, at their regular monthly meeting and authorized administration to begin a search for his replacement.   Patritto has decided to step away to spend more time with family, which requires increased time, attention, and flexibility. Patritto has expressed willingness to remain in the role until a qualified successor is appointed or through a transition period.  The Board of Trustees, along with college administration, will conduct a search for the college’s next president, with a formalized plan to be announced in the coming weeks. Planning is already underway, including the establishment of a search committee to assist in the process.
