Dean, of Academic Affairs, Athletics, Physical Education, and Health at Hartnell Community College
About the Employer
Hartnell College is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in California. Founded in 1920 as Salinas Junior College, the school was renamed Hartnell College in 1948, and the Hartnell Community College District was established the following year. The College is preparing to join with its students, employees, alums and the greater community to celebrate its Centennial, beginning in Fall 2019. Hartnell moved into a new building on its current 54-acre site, at 411 Central Ave. in Salinas in 1936. The Main Campus is located in Monterey County, just a 25-minute drive from the scenic Monterey Peninsula and the Monterey Regional Airport. Its Alisal Campus in east Salinas, opened in 2014, houses its Agricultural Business and Technology Institute, its Sustainable Design and Construction Center, a diesel program, an automotive technology program and its computer science program. Hartnell also holds classes at its education center in King City, opened in 2002, and at numerous off-campus locations in north and south Monterey County. Thanks to a $167 million local bond measure – known as Measure T – approved by district voters in 2016, it is preparing to expand that facility and open new centers in Soledad and Castroville, as well as a new state-of-the-art building for its nursing and allied health programs on the Main Campus. Along with renovation of two classroom buildings and new landscaping, also on the Main Campus, those projects are scheduled for completion by 2021. The College serves the Salinas Valley, a fertile agricultural region some 10 miles wide and 100 miles long, as well as part of southern San Benito County. It draws most of its annual enrollment of 17,000 students from Salinas and the communities of Bradley, Castroville, Chualar, Gonzales, Greenfield, Jolon, King City, Lockwood, Moss Landing, San Ardo, San Lucas and Soledad. Students also come from Monterey Peninsula communities and elsewhere in California’s Central Coast, as well as from other states and countries. All are drawn Hartnell's academic excellence and focus on the success of students in its four-year transfer, nursing and technical programs, as well as a proud tradition in intercollegiate athletics, with 12 men’s and women’s teams.
