WCC PRESIDENT SEARCH TENTATIVE TIMELINE

ABOUT WCC

Woodland Community College (WCC) is proud of its status as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and serves our local communities in Yolo, Lake, Colusa, and Glenn Counties. The College, across its three campuses in Woodland, Clearlake, and Williams, serves over 3,000 students annually in multiple associate and certificated programs. WCC prides itself on an innovative, student-centered faculty and partnerships with school districts, four-year colleges, and businesses in its broad, rural service area.

As part of the Yuba Community College District (YCCD), WCC serves as the primary means for addressing regional education, economic, and workforce development needs in its service area. Statistics show that more than half of the student population in the WCC service area live at or below poverty level. The President of Woodland Community College will lead the College to answer these student needs by focusing on Guided Pathways and transfer to four-year institutions, Certificate completion, Career Technical Education (CTE) unit completion, and regional living wage attainment. The WCC President will also guide the College in aligning college goals with the YCCD governing Board’s Student Success Goals to: increase by at least 20 percent the number of students annually who acquire associate’s degrees, credentials, certificates, or specific skill sets that prepare them for in-demand jobs; increase by at least 35 percent the number of students transferring annually to a UC or CSU; and increase by 76 percent the percentage of CTE students who report being employed in their field of study.

Woodland, California is a city of 60,000 in the heart of Yolo County, about 15 miles northwest of Sacramento. The college is surrounded with rich agricultural farmland and is one of the largest crop production areas in the state. The area is an excellent choice for quality of life with close proximity to the Sierra Nevada for outdoor recreation, a burgeoning farm-to-fork movement, and access to Napa Valley wine country and the metropolitan areas of Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area.
