Rick Bateman Jr.

Bossier Parish Community College has a new chancellor. But Dr. Rick Bateman is really no stranger to the school. He was named interim chancellor after the departure of Jim Henderson, who's now Northwestern State University's president.

The Louisiana Community and Technical College System Board of Supervisors has approved the recommendation of Dr. Rick Bateman, Jr., as Interim Chancellor of BPCC. He'll take over the position January 1, 2015.
