AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) — Amarillo College will host public forums from April 15th to April 19th, and finalists 2 in Amarillo College's search for a new president will be invited to participate in two of the forums. It was announced that the name has been decided.

According to AC, the forum will be held in Ordway Hall on AC's Washington Street campus.

Presidential finalists will participate in a 75-minute open session.
