Campus Announcement: Passing of Troy Ament

January 12, 2026

Dear Campus Community,

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Troy Ament, associate superintendent of administrative services and emergency operations. The College was notified early this morning by Troy’s family. At this time, we ask that our campus community allow Troy’s family privacy to grieve.

This morning the Executive Team met with Troy’s team as well as campus leaders to inform them of our loss. When we know more information about services for Troy, we will provide an update to the campus community.

Sincerely,

Henry D. Shannon, Ph.D. 
Superintendent/President 

Michael L. McClellan, Ed.D.
Associate Superintendent of Instruction and Institutional Effectiveness  

Alisha Rosas, Ed.D.
Associate Superintendent of Student Services and Strategic Communications  

Lisa Bailey 
Associate Superintendent of Business Services and Economic Development
