Colorado Community College System (CCCS) Chancellor Joe Garcia joins us to discuss how upcoming collective bargaining legislation will negatively impact Colorado's Community Colleges.
As CCCS Chancellor, Garcia leads the state’s largest system of higher education, which serves 125,000 students annually at 13 colleges and 35 locations across Colorado. Prior to his role at CCCS, Garcia served as President of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education.
From 2011 to 2016, he served as the Lt. Governor of Colorado and as the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Higher Education. During his time as Lt. Governor, Garcia focused on increasing equity in outcomes for all students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds and communities of color. Garcia also served as President of Colorado State University-Pueblo from 2006 to 2010 and Pikes Peak Community College from 2001 to 2006.
