Essential Functions:

At Madera 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.

An equity-minded individual is a person who:

• Understands the importance of holding ourselves accountable as

educators for closing equity gaps and engaging in equitable
practices;

• Reframes inequities as a problem of practice and views the

elimination of inequities as an individual and collective
responsibility;

• Encourages positive race-consciousness and embraces human

difference;

• Supports institutional practices that both develop and sustain

culturally responsive teaching and learning environments; and

• Strategically builds support for and participation in

equity-related initiatives across both our internal and external
communities.

Madera 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 Madera Community College.

The ideal candidate will share Madera Community College's
commitment to educating its racially and socioeconomically diverse
student population. For the 2025-2026 academic year, we enrolled
over 13,000 students in which 69% identify as Latinx, 11% as
Asian/Pacific Islander, 3% as Black/African American, 16% as White,
1% as American Indian/Alaska Native, and 2% as multiracial. Madera
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.
