College of the Desert Invites Community Input on Final Superintendent Candidates
The College of the Desert is taking a transparent and inclusive approach as it narrows down its search for a new superintendent. After a thorough selection process, the college has identified four finalists for the top leadership position and is now seeking valuable input from the community.
A special forum will take place tonight at 5:30 PM at the Pollock Theater on the Palm Desert campus, providing students, faculty, and residents with the chance to meet the candidates firsthand. For those unable to attend in person, the event will also be streamed live on YouTube, ensuring broad accessibility.
Each of the four superintendent candidates will deliver a 10-minute presentation outlining their vision and qualifications. The presentations will be followed by a moderated Q&A session, offering attendees the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with the candidates on issues important to the college’s future.
College officials emphasize the importance of community feedback in making this critical decision. The new superintendent will play a pivotal role in shaping the direction of the institution, impacting students and the broader Coachella Valley community for years to come.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to have your voice heard in the selection of College of the Desert’s next leader. The forum begins tonight at 5:30 PM, both at the Pollock Theater and online at https://www.collegeofthedesert.edu/president/default.php.
