    Hope Rises for City College with Susan Lamb at the Helm

    Susan Lamb, Interim Chancellor of CCSF, hit the ground running. Over the past 5 months, since her appointment, she has been skillfully leading the college and guiding its continued evolution. Earlier this month, for example, she helped to launch a new program to make it easier for students to transfer from CCSF to four-year universities. Called Metro Transfer Academies, the program represents a coordinated effort between the college and the state-level university systems. Students are already praising it, and particularly those who previously thought a college education was out of the question. Many such students are the first in their families to go to college.

    While new as Chancellor, Lamb is certainly no stranger to City College.

    “Ms. Lamb has been serving as Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs since 2013 and her knowledge of the college and of accreditation makes her an excellent leader for the next phase of development of the college,” Trustee Guy Lease and State Chancellor Brice Harris said in a press release.

    Lamb replaced Chancellor Art Tyler, who served for 19 months and helped to lead the college to secure Restoration Status earlier this year.

    As a member of our LGBT community, Lamb has become a role model to queer students at the college and elsewhere.

    She has much wisdom to share, given that she is also a dedicated veteran community college administrator with 28 years of experience and a deep working knowledge of CCSF and accreditation. She previously served as part-time and full-time faculty, department Dean, and Faculty Senate President at Contra Costa College, as well as interim Senior Dean of General Education and Transfer and Vice President of Academic Affairs at Diablo Valley College and CCSF.
