Blinn hires familiar face for provost position

The Blinn College Board of Trustees approved the hiring of Dr. Ted Raspiller as the Brazos County campuses provost during the July 20 regular board meeting.

Raspiller is currently the chair of the Educational Foundations and Leadership department and director of the Community College Leadership graduate program at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

"Ted has an extensive and successful background in the areas of leadership, community relations and economic development," said Blinn president Dan Holt. "His experience, along with the energy and passion he brings to Blinn College, will position him to become a visionary leader for the current and future Brazos County campuses.”

As provost, Raspiller will serve as the chief operating officer for Brazos County campuses, providing leadership, oversight and coordination of all operational activities.  He will also serve as the primary contact for the Brazos County campuses, representing the area at all board meetings and serving on the president’s executive council.

“This position is crucial as we continue to build and strengthen our economic development partnerships of public and private entities in the Brazos Valley,” Holt said. “I feel confident that Dr. Ted Raspiller will be a strong asset to Blinn College and will help lead our Brazos County campuses to the forefront of these future initiatives.”

Raspiller has been in his current position at Old Dominion since 2006. Prior to that, he served as the vice president for learning at Waukesha County Technical College in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, and before that served a four year stint at Blinn College as the dean of technical and workforce education.  In that time, he directed the credit and non-credit programming, including the development and administration of over $1.2 million of grant-funded workforce development programs annually.
Raspiller said he is looking forward to returning to Texas and to Blinn College.

“Knowing firsthand Blinn’s reputation for quality transfer, technical and workforce education programs, I am energized by the opportunity to return to Blinn College in this leadership role,” Raspiller said. “I look forward to working with faculty, staff, and students to continue to build strong academic programs and students services focused upon student success. I also look forward to working with external stakeholders to position the Brazos County Campuses as an economic development engine in the community they serve.”

Raspiller holds a bachelor's degree from Governors State University in University Park, IL and both master's and doctoral degrees in education from Northern Illinois University.

Dr. Raspiller is expected to begin his new job with Blinn in September.
