At Clovis Community College we value the ability to serve students from a broad range of cultural heritages, socioeconomic backgrounds, genders, abilities and orientations. We prioritize applicants who demonstrate they understand the benefits a diverse student population brings to a community college. The successful candidate will be an equity‑minded leader committed to student success achieved through collaboration with faculty, classified staff, administration, students and community partners who are also dedicated to closing equity gaps.

• Understand the importance of holding ourselves accountable as educators for closing equity gaps and engaging in equitable practices;
• Reframe inequities as a problem of practice and view the elimination of inequities as an individual and collective responsibility;
• Encourage positive race‑consciousness and embrace human difference;
• Support institutional practices that develop and sustain culturally responsive teaching and learning environments;
• Strategically build support for and participation in equity‑related initiatives across both our internal and external communities.

Clovis Community College seeks leaders who value placing the student at the center of everything we do, mentorship and working in a collegial, collaborative environment. Leaders should be open and willing to participate in culturally relevant professional development that will help them prepare for the population of students who attend Clovis Community College.

For the 2024‑2025 academic year, we enrolled over 17,000 students: 53% identify as Latinx, 13% as Asian/Pacific Islander, 4% as Black/African American, 25% as White, 1% as American Indian/Alaska Native, and 4% as multiracial. Clovis Community College is a Hispanic Serving Institution, reflecting the great responsibility that the College has to the educational attainment and economic well‑being of the surrounding community.

The successful candidate will join a department dedicated to providing services responsive to the students it serves.
