After almost two years of having an interim superintendent-president, the search for the permanent President of Long Beach City College is on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long Beach City College is currently holding a nationwide search for a new permanent superintendent-president. The board will have a position soft close date of October 20, 2021, with first-level interviews beginning in mid to late November. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second-level interviews are set to be held in the beginning of Dec. 2021, with a new appointee to be made by January 1, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interim Superintendent-President position is currently held by Dr. Mike Mu\u00f1oz, who is also in the running for the permanent position. This has yet to be officially announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board opted to appoint Dr. Mu\u00f1oz as the new interim superintendent-president, as he was already serving in the position of vice president of student services. Mu\u00f1oz stepped into the role in March of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board is working hard to improve the way they work together this year by attending two retreats that are created to help with Board goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Mu\u00f1oz, \u201cIf you compare past board meetings from a year ago to the last couple current board meetings you would see a stark difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Board has worked very hard over the last couple of months to increase their efficiency as a Board in terms of Board meetings and their collaboration with each other,\u201d added Mu\u00f1oz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although two years seems like a long time to go without a permanent president, it is not uncommon for institutions to appoint an interim first, especially during a global pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has taken a toll on the hiring process at Long Beach City College and is a big factor as to why the hiring process has taken a while. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you look across the states there are a number of vacancies across the board on the vice president positions as well as the superintendent-president positions,\u201d said Loy Nashua, Vice President of Human Resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board of Trustees claims to look for someone who has an earned doctorate from an accredited college or university and has classroom-teaching experience at a post-secondary institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal characteristics for the new Superintendent-President are centered around having collaborative leadership skills and caring about student success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long Beach City College cares heavily about its students and faculty and is looking for a candidate who takes an interest in student life on campus and wants students to succeed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
