Congratulations to Our New Tenured Faculty

The Clover Park Technical College Board of Trustees awarded tenure to instructors Marla Briggs, Lara Cooper, Ken Markovits and Jody Randall on March 4.

The instructors completed a three-year process that included significant observation, assessment and feedback. Each instructor was highly recommended by their tenure committee.
