"Dr. Veeder's enthusiasm, varied experiences and personal qualities will be a great addition to the college," said Larry Lundblad, CLC president, in making the announcement to college staff on Tuesday.
The position has been vacant since the departure of Joe Opatz, who left to assume the presidency at Normandale Community in Bloomington.
Central Lakes, with campuses in Brainerd and Staples, is a community and technical college that serves about 4,000 students per year with career education and liberal arts transfer degrees in more than 60 programs.
