Long Beach Community College District searching for superintendent

The board of trustees for the Long Beach Community College District has begun a national search for a new superintendent, the district announced Tuesday.

Long Beach City College is the district’s sole college.

“The Board of Trustees and I are confident that we will find a strong leader who will not only provide guidance to our employees, but someone who will build on LBCC’s legacy of academic excellence, who will lead the college through our accreditation process, update our strategic plan and advance our award-winning racial equity efforts,” said Uduak-Joe Ntuk, the president of the district’s board.

Applications are due to the district by Oct. 20, and the board expects to select a new superintendent by Dec. 15. The superintendent would begin their role Jan. 1.

Currently, Mike Muñoz is the district’s interim superintendent.
