September 13, 2018
The Louisiana Community and Technical College System (LCTCS) Board of Supervisors
appointed Dr. William Wainwright Interim Chancellor of Delgado Community College effective
Thursday, September 13, 2018. The announcement occurred during the Board of Supervisors
meeting in Baton Rouge on September 12. Wainwright was appointed on an interim basis
by the Board as a result of Delgado Chancellor Joan Davis stepping down to accept
the position of Vice President of Administration & Policy at the LCTCS Board Office. "As a Board, we are happy that Dr. Wainwright has agreed to lead Delgado on an interim
basis," said LCTCS Board Chairman Stephen Toups. "Dr. Wainwright is an experienced
leader. He is very knowledgeable of the local and business community in the greater
New Orleans region. We believe he is the best fit to continue moving the college forward."
Wainwright has served as Chancellor of Northshore Technical Community College since
2011 and has been with the LCTCS for 20 years. He earned his undergraduate degree
from the University of Louisiana Lafayette in Criminal Justice, his graduate degree
from Northwestern State University in Adult Education and his doctorate degree from
the University of New Orleans in Higher Education Administration.
