The chancellor and board of trustees of State Center Community College District (SCCCD) are seeking a campus president for the Madera Community College Center/Oakhurst Community College Center. The new campus president will provide unifying and participatory leadership to a dynamic, complex, diverse campus. The campus president will build upon the campus' strong legacy of achievement and leadership in the community.

The Madera Community College Center will apply for candidacy in January 2019, with anticipation of becoming the 4th college in the State Center Community College District.
