Central New Mexico Community College president to retire

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Central New Mexico Community College's longest-serving president has announced she will retire.
President Katharine Winograd said Wednesday she has agreed to serve as the school's leader until a new president is hired or until her final contract runs out at the end of June 2020.
Winograd was selected as Central New Mexico Community College president in 2007.
Under her leadership, the school increased the number of students graduating.
In 2014, U.S. Department of Education statistics ranked the school No. 1 among 1,100-plus community colleges in the country for the number of associate degrees and certificates awarded to Hispanic and Native American students.
