Jennifer Zabokrtsky is the new director of the Cloud County Community College Geary County campus.

Zabokrtsky was introduced at the Geary County Commission meeting on Tuesday. She will succeed Brenda Edleston, who is now the Vice President of Academic Affairs for the college. Edleston will spend much of her time on the Concordia campus, but plans to work on the Geary County campus one day per week.

Zabokrtsky has been employed at the Geary County campus since 2001 working in student services. “Most recently I was the coordinator of student services, overseeing admissions, financial aid, advising, all of those types of things on our campus. So now I am learning a whole other side of the house.” She said they are trying some creative scheduling where they are offering courses between the two campuses via some video conferencing technology. Partnerships are also being continued with area high schools to increase traditional enrollment.

On a separate note, Edleston confirmed there has been a decrease in enrollment of about 10% at the Geary County campus. But second start classes which are eight week courses begin next week. The enrollment on the main campus in Concordia is slightly up.
