The Nevada Board of Regents has chosen the next leader of Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno.

    

The board voted Friday to accept Chancellor Dan Klaich's recommendation of hiring Kyle Dalpe as acting president once current president Maria Sheehan retires in January.

    

Regents also accepted Klaich's recommendation to launch a national search for Sheehan's permanent successor. As acting president, Dalpe won't be able to take over the position permanently.

    

Dalpe has a doctorate in educational leadership from the University of Nevada, Reno. He has worked at the community college since 2002, and serves as Sheehan's chief of staff.

    

Klaich described Dalpe as "presidential material" and said he had broad support among groups inside and outside of the college.

    

His annual salary is expected to be $140,000. (AP)
