RCCD Chancellor Search Update
09/25/2026
Dear Members of the RCCD Community,
Thank you for your continued interest in the search for Riverside Community College District's (RCCD) next chancellor. The search process remains on schedule, and the Board of Trustees looks forward to sharing the next steps with the RCCD community. RCCD attracted a strong and diverse pool of candidates from throughout California, the region, and the nation.
In the coming week, the Board of Trustees anticipates announcing the names of the final candidates. The final candidates are expected to visit RCCD the week of Oct. 12, and all finalists will participate in public forums. The forum dates, times, and locations will be released once finalized.
Your participation and input at the public forums are important. All forum attendees will have the opportunity to provide feedback through a survey. The Board of Trustees will review the feedback as part of the deliberation process.
The Board of Trustees is committed to conducting an equitable, inclusive and transparent national search process. Please refer to the RCCD Chancellor Search website for the timeline and updates: https://rccd.edu/chancellor_search.
