Deputy Chancellor Search

State Center Community College District (SCCCD) is seeking an experienced, equity-centered leader passionate about serving the diverse needs of students to take on the role of Deputy Chancellor for our multi-college district. Located in California's San Joaquin Valley, one of the fastest-growing regions in the country, the District is comprised of four colleges (Fresno, Reedley, Clovis and Madera), one center (West Fresno Center), and four additional sites (Oakhurst, Herndon, Career Technology Center and the First Responders Campus). While we have made impressive educational and economic gains, we must continue to work together with Trustees, administrators, faculty, classified professionals, students, and our community to provide the best opportunity for social and economic mobility for our students and their families.

The Deputy Chancellor will be a student-focused, equity-driven leader with a deep understanding of academic and student services programs. They should be dynamic, knowledgeable about the complexities of large organizations, and demonstrate kindness and collaboration in their leadership. A commitment to advancing student access, equity, and success for our diverse student body is essential. This role requires an experienced administrator with broad knowledge of finance, grant administration, operations, technology, campus safety, contracts, and federal and state programs. The Deputy Chancellor will offer unifying and participatory leadership to a complex and diverse district.

The Deputy Chancellor reports to Chancellor Carole Goldsmith and oversees District Services. This leader will collaborate with their dedicated team of professionals to maintain a strong focus and integration of student equity and success, while working towards achieving State Center Community College’s mission and strategic goals and being innovative in continuously improving operations. In the absence of the Chancellor, the Deputy Chancellor will serve as the Acting Chancellor.
