Pueblo Community College (PCC) seeks a visionary, creative, and equity-minded leader as its next President, who will accelerate the College’s mission to transform the lives of students, enrich communities, and strengthen regional economies. As a public, open-access institution that is attuned and responsive to the needs of the diverse communities it serves, PCC empowers individual achievement by providing inclusive, personalized support and innovative educational opportunities that promote success for students, employees, and the communities it serves. Through flexible programs, wrap-around student support, and mentorship, PCC prepares students for the next stage in their lives, whether in the workforce or transferring to a four-year college or university. The next leader of PCC will have a unique opportunity to impact individual lives as well as southern Colorado as a whole and will bring an unmistakable dedication to the College’s mission, energizing and leading the College into its next era of success.
Founded in 1933, PCC is a premier teaching institution focused on providing academic and service excellence to help its students acquire 21st-century skills to improve the quality of life and the economic well-being of Colorado citizens and communities. An educational and technological leader, PCC fosters economic development and utilizes strong partnerships in its communities throughout its Pueblo, Fremont, and PCC Southwest campuses, as well as additional sites in Southwest Colorado. For the 2022-23 academic year, PCC served 9,008 students, including close to 3,500 FTE students.
Success in PCC’s next era will require an ongoing review of existing administrative structures, academic programs, and student services and the creation of new opportunities. In addition, strengthening bridges among the PCC campuses and the other CCCS colleges and continuing positive student enrollment trends will be critical to the College’s future success. PCC has cultivated deep, effective partnerships with the communities it serves. The next President will nurture those existing relationships and identify opportunities to build new partnerships with local and state governments, businesses, alumni, other educational institutions, and community organizations, and will generate and steward financial resources. Importantly, the President must become an integral and welcoming member of the PCC communities. This leader will ensure that Pueblo Community College continues to be the college of choice for personal and community success.
