Feedback Requested: SMCCCD Chancellor Finalists
The San Mateo County Community College District has selected four finalists for its chancellor position. This announcement comes after a national search that fielded a highly qualified and diverse pool of candidates. A screening committee comprised of faculty, staff, students, administrators, a board member, and a community representative has recommended four candidates to the Board of Trustees for consideration. Each candidate participated in a recorded forum, which can be viewed on the Chancellor Finalists & Forums site.
The SMCCCD Board of Trustees encourages you to watch the forum recordings to hear directly from the finalists about their preparation and vision for leading our District. Along with the recordings, links to a feedback form for each finalist are available on the Chancellor Finalists & Forums site. Recordings and feedback forms will be available for viewing until 11:59 PM, Friday, March 22, to allow Board members time to review community feedback before their deliberations and decision-making.
