De Anza College is beginning a national search for our next president, led by the higher education search firm AGB Search.
Search Update
In October, students, faculty, classified professionals and administrators joined listening sessions and completed an input survey to share what they value about De Anza, the opportunities and challenges facing the college and the qualities they would like to see in our next president. Their input will help shape the search and the leadership profile. Thank you to everyone who took part.
