ARCHBOLD — Northwest State Community College has formally announced its new Dean of the Van Wert campus, Dr. Jon Tomlinson of Van Wert.  

Tomlinson is the first official hire for the forthcoming Van Wert satellite campus, which will be located in the former Kennedy Manufacturing building on E. Sycamore St.  

Dr. Tomlinson earned his Doctorate of Organizational Leadership from Regent University. Dr. Tomlinson most recently held the position of Dean and professor at Ohio Christian University. He’s a former president of Van Wert City Council. His first official day as dean is today, July 5.
