Honoring a New Era of Leadership:

It is with great pride and anticipation that Central Louisiana Technical Community College (CLTCC) announces the official Investiture of Dr. Heather Poole as Chancellor on November 19, 2026.

An investiture is one of the most significant traditions in higher education—a formal ceremony marking the conferral of the authority and high office of the chancellorship. Beyond honoring tradition, this milestone reflects CLTCC’s continued dedication to student success, workforce innovation, and community development across Central Louisiana.

As Dr. Poole officially assumes the mantle of leadership, we invite students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners to join us in celebrating this pivotal moment as we look toward a bright and transformative future for our institution.
