He's a Lancer now
Lars Hafner is a St. Pete Titan no more. A week after getting an offer to lead Manatee Community College, the St. Pete College provost has accepted.
MCC trustees officially approved Hafner's two-year, $210,000-a-year contract on Wednesday, the Bradenton Herald reports. Hafner, who represented St. Petersburg in the Florida House for more than a decade, will move to Manatee or Sarasota county as part of the agreement.
"I'm very excited we were chosen by the board," he told the Herald. "I feel very fortunate."
Hafner replaces Sarah Pappas, who is retiring after 11 years. His first day is July 1.
