Hammitt loses interim label, named president

Interim Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College president Stephanie Hammitt got the job. She is FDLTCC president after serving as interim president for nearly 18 months.

“Stephanie Hammitt has performed admirably as interim president,” said Devinder Malhotra, chancellor of Minnesota State.

Malhotra said Hammitt is navigating the college through re-accreditation and the initial accreditation of the associate of science nursing program.

“She has earned overwhelmingly positive support from key partners and constituents including the Tribal Board of Education, the Tribal Business Council, and internal stakeholders of the college,” he said.

Hammitt is an enrolled member of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.

Hammitt had served as the vice president of finance and administration from 2016 to 2018, as chief financial officer from 2008 to 2016, and as director of fiscal operations from 1990 to 1996.

She has also served on the college’s board of directors, including several years as chair. She served the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa as internal auditor from 1996 to 2001 and as comptroller from 2001 to 2008.

Hammitt had been serving as interim president since July 1, 2018 after the retirement of the previous president, Larry Anderson.
