The Process
The Modesto Junior College President search is a confidential process. The selection
committee, representing the College, District, and community at large, will begin
reviewing applications on November 9, 2018. The Board of Trustees will take final
action on approving the hiring of the new president in a public meeting later in the
spring, with the objective of filling the position January 2019.
Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
