Visionary. Leader. Innovator. These are words often used when describing our podcast guest, Dr. Jane Karas, President of Flathead Valley Community College (FVCC).  Dr. Karas was awarded the Kalispell Chamber’s highest honor, the Flathead Legacy Award, for her outstanding contributions to the Flathead Valley community through her work at FVCC.  Dr. Karas has been President of FVCC for over 20 years, helming the college through a variety of economic climates while steadily growing the college’s programming, facilities, and campus.  She has overseen expansion and addition of the campus buildings, including the Broussard Center for Nursing and Health Science, Broussard Family Library and Learning Commons, construction of the first dormitory- Founders Hall, and most recently, the construction and opening of the Wachholz College Center, a unique facility which combines an event center with a gymnasium and fitness center with a 1000+ seat performing arts center, recital hall, art gallery, and outdoor amphitheater. Her leadership has transformed the college, and more importantly, helped shape the educational opportunities for the valley’s workforce past, present, and future.  Join us as we learn more about Dr. Karas’ college leadership and vision for the future of FVCC and Kalispell.
