Description
Bill R. Path, EdD, received his bachelor’s degree from Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas, in 1983 and a master’s degree in Educational Psychology/Counseling from Texas A&M University in College Station in 1985. He received his doctoral degree in Higher Education Administration from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville in 1995.
In 1996, Dr. Path became vice president of Student Services at Northeast Community College (NECC) in Norfolk, Nebraska, a position he held for four years. After one year at Aims Community College in Greeley, Colorado, Dr. Path returned to Norfolk and NECC in 2001 as president.
Numerous building projects were completed under Dr. Path’s leadership. In 2006, he approached the University of Nebraska and UNMC about bringing university-level nursing education to northeast Nebraska to improve the quality of medical care, attract more specialty physicians, and grow nurse faculty to serve the region’s nursing schools. As a result, the $11.9 million UNMC J. Paul and Eleanor McIntosh College of Nursing was established. The program has subsequently provided access to quality nursing education to combat the shortage of nurses in the region.
Dr. Path resigned from NECC in 2011 to become president of Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology in Okmulgee, where he currently resides.
