Copper Mountain College President Dr. Roger Wagner is one of the final candidates being considered for president of Victor Valley Community College. Victor Valley College officials say they have screened resumes of candidates for the school’s president/ superintendent opening and are preparing interviews. Wagner, who just got a three-year contract extension from Copper Mountain College, is one of five or six finalists that will be presented to the Victor Valley College Board. Trustee Lori Denson said the new president should take the helm by July 1 if all goes according to schedule. In May 2013, former president/superintendent Christopher O’Hearn stepped down a month before his contract expired, citing personal and medical reasons. The college has employed 10 presidents over the past 12 years. In an interview with Z107.7 News, Wagner said he applied for the Victorville College position because, “It is a bigger college with more opportunities.” Wagner added, “My wife and I like the desert area and Victorville is the only place I have applied.”
