CHANCELLOR
The State Board of the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) announces its search for Chancellor. This is an opportunity for a deeply knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and passionate leader to guide one of the leading community college systems in the nation, known for its innovations in serving students, geographic reach, breadth of offerings across transfer and workforce development programs, and congenial and collaborative relations. The next Chancellor will be a transformational leader who continues building the VCCS for greatness into the future, to ensure every Virginian has the skills and knowledge to be a productive member of the economy, community and democracy. Applications and nominations for VCCS Chancellor are cordially invited.
The impact that VCCS has on the entire Commonwealth is hard to overstate. Widely recognized as a top system in the country, Virginia's community colleges have a 50-year track record of educational excellence and innovation in serving the needs of students and communities and in strengthening the commonwealth's economy. The community colleges serve 46% of the state's undergraduate students, and 43% of bachelor's degree graduates come out of the community colleges.
The Virginia Community College System leads and supports independently accredited community colleges across 40 sites offering comprehensive academic pathways. There is tremendous diversity across the colleges in terms of size, geographic span, rural-urban environment, diversity of communities served, and staffing. VCCS colleges offer degree programs for transfer and for application in the workplace, as well as short-term credentials designed to provide skills training to meet immediate workforce needs.
VCCS is the state agency with primary responsibility for coordinating workforce training at the postsecondary to the associate degree level, exclusive of the career and technical education programs provided through and administered by the K-12 public schools. Through VCCS, the community colleges offer noncredit course offerings for business and industry, work with employers to design specific customized workforce training programs, and maximize the availability of distance learning courses to address workforce training needs.
