Yesterday, members of the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) announced their selection of VCCS Vice Chancellor for Workforce Development, Peter Blake, as the new interim executive director. Blake previously served at SCHEV as an associate director until 1999. He also served as secretary of education in Gov. Mark R. Warner’s administration before joining the VCCS.

“The Council is extremely pleased that Mr. Blake has agreed to return to SCHEV to direct the agency’s initiatives to help make Virginia’s colleges and universities affordable and accessible to all citizens,” said Council Chair Susan Magill, in a news release. The news was also published in the Times-Dispatch.

Taking on the responsibilities of interim vice chancellor for workforce development at the VCCS is Dr. Craig Herndon, who currently serves as Special Assistant to the Chancellor and provided significant leadership in the development of The Virginia Education Wizard.
