Prior to joining BCC, Dr. Charlier served as president of Central Lakes College in Minnesota, where she advanced student success, grew enrollment, and strengthened partnerships that supported both learners and the broader community. Her leadership is grounded in building relationships, fostering a sense of belonging, and ensuring every voice is heard.
