Century College’s new president raised completion rates at Chicago campus

A Chicago college leader will be the new president of Century College.

Angelia Millender has been president of Olive-Harvey College since 2014. She’ll take over at the White Bear Lake campus July 1.

Minnesota State Chancellor Steven Rosenstone said Millender boosted completion rates at Olive-Harvey, particularly for African-American men.

“She is a leader who will inspire others by her passion,” Rosenstone said.

Millender takes over for interim president Patrick Opatz, who succeeded Ron Anderson when Anderson became Minnesota State’s vice chancellor for academic and student affairs in July 2015. Opatz will go back to being Century’s chief financial officer.
