By the end of the year, both Central Massachusetts community colleges will have new presidents. James Vander Hooven took over at Mount Wachusett Community College in March, and the board of trustees at Quinsigamond Community College picked Luis Pedraja to take over for Gail Carberry, who is retiring at the end of the school year.
