New Chancellor

rita_cepedaThe San José/Evergreen Community College District (SJECCD) has a new Chancellor.  Dr. Rita Cepeda is the sixth permanent chancellor of the San José/Evergreen Community College District. 

“Dr. Cepeda’s impressive knowledge of community colleges and her leadership abilities are crucial as our district remains committed to meeting our students’ needs,” said Board President Balbir Dhillon. 

Cepeda’s selection follows a national search for a permanent chancellor to replace Rosa Pérez, who retired on June 30, 2010. 

“I feel honored and privileged to have been selected the Chancellor of the San José/Evergreen Community College District,” said Dr. Rita Cepeda.  “The “fit” between the students, faculty, staff, members of our Board of Trustees and me is an excellent one.  SJECCD is a critical asset to Silicon Valley and our focus on the future will be to continue that invaluable partnership.   I look forward to building on the great tradition the District, its two great colleges and the programs of our Workforce Institute.”

On behalf of the Board, I want to say that the controversy surrounding these allegations has been incredibly disruptive to many people's lives. It's been a distraction to our faculty, staff, students and community. We are disappointed that the phenomenal achievements of our students and outstanding work of our faculty and classified staff have been overshadowed by this controversy.

The Board's goal has been to deal with this openly and thoroughly. I want to emphasize that the District has taken this process very seriously and has fully and completely cooperated with the investigation.
