FSCJ is a forward-leaning institution that embraces innovation and continuous improvement, while remaining grounded in a mission focused on educational access and success that reflects its beginnings as a community college. Strong applicants will have prior experience in teaching and academic leadership at the college level.

Effectively achieving this balance requires strong communication and relational skills with faculty and administrators, a capacity for interest-based problem solving, and an approach to “getting things done” that is highly collaborative, adaptive, ethical, and characterized by a willingness to address challenges directly and with care.
