In September, the JJC Board of Trustees engaged with the Pauly Group to lead the presidential search process. The national firm has over 30 years in academic and executive leadership placement. The board has also established a cross-functional committee to support these efforts, comprised of community leaders and JJC employees representative of the campus community.

JJC President Dr. Judy Mitchell will retire on Aug. 31, 2022 after more than five years in the position and over 25 as an employee of the college.
