CALAIS — The president of Maine’s Washington County Community College in Calais is going to retire at the end of June.

Joyce Hedlund has spent 43 years in education, 25 years in Maine’s community college system.

Before taking the top job in Calais in 2010, Hedlund spent 16 years as president of Eastern Maine Community College in Bangor.

The Washington County Community College has about 500 students and a 21-member faculty.

The Bangor Daily News says a national search is now under way for Hedlund’s successor.
