The Board of Trustees of The City University of New York (CUNY) and the Presidential Search Committee invite nominations and applications for the position of President at Kingsborough Community College, CUNY, the only community college in Brooklyn, New York. Kingsborough Community College (KCC) seeks a proven, collaborative leader who embraces its commitment to access, equity and student success and advances the innovative pathways to higher education, career and economic advancement needed by the diverse communities it serves.
Kingsborough, a comprehensive two-year college providing both liberal arts and career education, offers 50 associate degree and certificate programs enrolling over 12,000 degree-seeking students, plus an additional 3,639 students enrolled in College Now, a nationally acclaimed transition-to-college program which it pioneered. KCC maintains one of the most comprehensive adult and continuing education programs in New York City, delivering occupational, academic, and personal development to over 20,000 students from age 6 to 70+. The college has a full-time faculty of 343, 583 part-time faculty and almost 1,500 total staff. KCC’s 2016-2017 annual operating budget was $144.8 million, mostly funded through the New York City tax-levy appropriations and student tuition and fees. Over the past five years, the fundraising efforts of the Kingsborough Community College Foundation in partnership with the alumni community have exceeded $10.4 million in contributions.
Kingsborough is also nationally recognized for the number of degrees conferred, the high percentage of its graduates who continue their studies and for program innovation. It was named a finalist-with-distinction for the 2013 Aspen prize for Community College Excellence as one of the top four community colleges in the nation. As an Achieving the Dream leader college since 2015, Kingsborough takes pride in the impact of its array of programs to advance access to higher education, equity and student success. Located on a beautifully-sited 71-acre campus along the waterfront in Brooklyn’s Manhattan Beach neighborhood, Kingsborough is a major presence in the bustling Borough of Brooklyn, serving as the borough’s community partner, academic and cultural hub and economic driver. KCC reflects the very rich diversity of the city; there isn’t a racial, ethnic, religious or cultural group not represented and one can hear over 70 languages spoken on campus
