Dr. Karie Solembrino.

Wor-Wic Community College has restructured its occupational division of credit education to allow for future growth.

With expected physical growth, an increased student body and new programs such as industrial technology, supply chain management and alternative energy, the college announced a new division of occupational education, with the creation of two new dean positions — dean of occupational and emerging technologies and dean of health professions.

Dr. Karie Solembrino has been selected to fill the latter position. A graduate of the college’s radiologic technology program, she went on to earn her bachelor’s degree in radiologic science from the Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences in Orlando, Fla., a master’s degree in postsecondary and adult education, as well as a doctorate in education, through Capella University.

She returned to Wor-Wic as department head and assistant professor of radiologic technology in 2007.
