The Utah Board of Higher Education appointed Lisa Moon as interim president of Bridgerland Technical College (BTECH) during its meeting on June 23, 20 26. The decision places Moon at the helm of the technical college following a period of leadership transition for the institution.
Details of Moon's Appointment
According to a news release from the Utah System of Higher Education dated June 23, 2026, Moon was selected by the board members during their most recent session. At the time of her appointment, Moon already held an active role within the college's leadership structure.
Reason for Presidential Vacancy
The appointment follows a vacancy in the presidency that was created by the departure of long-serving leadership at Bridgerland Technical College.
Retirement of K. Chad Campbell
The transition to Moon's interim leadership follows the retirement of K. Chad Campbell, who concluded a distinguished career at Bridgerland Technical College. As announced by the Utah System of Higher Education in March 2024, Campbell's retirement came after four decades of service to the institution.
Campbell's departure marked the end of an era for BTECH, as his tenure spanned forty years of development and administration within the technical college system.
Role of the Board
The Utah Board of Higher Education, which oversees the state's higher education institutions, operates under the leadership of Chair Amanda Covington. The board's decision to appoint Moon serves to maintain administrative continuity at BTECH while the college navigates its post-Campbell era.
Standard Interim Appointment Process
The appointment process for interim roles is a standard function of the board to ensure that technical colleges remain operational and focused on their mission during presidential searches.
Future Leadership Search Status
While the board has officially moved forward with Moon's appointment, the long-term leadership structure for Bridgerland Technical College remains a focus of the Utah System of Higher Education. The interim period allows the institution to continue its programming under established management.
