Western Nebraska Community College is pleased to announce the addition of Lynne Koski
as the Vice President of Finance.
Koski was formally approved to the position by the Western Community College Area
(WCCA) Board of Governors at its January 16 meeting, and officially began Monday.
She brings more than 30 years of experience in higher education and management from Northeast
Community College in Norfolk, Nebraska.
"I am honored to join the Western Nebraska Community College team and look forward
to serving the College and community," Koski said. "Though I have worked in higher
education for more than 30 years and am familiar with many of the obstacles facing
community colleges in Nebraska, I'm excited for the opportunity to address new challenges
in my role with WNCC. I'm also eager to be back closer to family in Western Nebraska."
"We are exceptionally thrilled to bring Lynne on board and look forward to the experience
she brings to the table," WNCC President Dr. Todd Holcomb said. "She has a wealth
of knowledge in the financial realm and has proven to be a successful leader in higher
education. Lynne will be a tremendous asset to our institution."
Koski joins WNCC after serving as the Vice President of Administrative Services at
Northeast Community College, where she maintained a $90 million budget and oversaw
an Administrative Services division of 89 employees. She also played an integral role
in developing the Master Site and Facility Plan and was a co-lead in Northeast's strategic
planning, assessment, and resource allocation process. Koski was also formerly a Dean
of Administrative Services and Director of Accounting at Northeast.
Additionally, Koski served as Treasurer to the Northeast Community College Area (NCCA)
Board of Governors, had served as Treasurer to the Northeast Community College Foundation,
and was the Chair of the College Center Finance and Facilities Committee.
At WNCC, Koski will manage the business and fiscal services of the College, including
accounting, budget development, payroll, bookkeeping, WNCC Foundation records, and
financial and audit reports. She will lead the developing and administering of all
College finances.
