The SVPSA is a senior advisor to the President, especially on matters regarding student services and strategies to navigate the changing landscape of higher education.
The SVPSA must be well informed about current trends in higher education, as well as future-forward perspectives, and be prepared to be a data-informed decision maker with a high degree of emotional intelligence who is committed to the principles of servant leadership, the community college mission, equity and inclusion, teamwork, participatory governance, and collective bargaining. The SVPSA must be student-centered and possess the characteristics of sound judgment, creativity, openness, flexibility, integrity, introspection, resourcefulness, and humility. The successful candidate will be expected to be driven by a passion for the College’s mission and to work in, and foster team environments where positive conflict is welcomed and psychological safety is ensured.
