Four finalists have been chosen to succeed Judy Miner as chancellor of the Foothill-De Anza Community College District. Miner is set to retire Sept. 1 after 35 years with the district and eight years as chancellor.
The finalists are Farouk Dey, vice provost of Johns Hopkins University; Lee Lambert, chancellor of Pima Community College; Richard Storti, executive vice chancellor of administrative services for the San Mateo Community College District; and Rowena Tomaneng, president of San José City College.
Prior to joining Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore as the inaugural vice provost for integrative learning and life design in 2018, Dey served as dean and associate vice provost of career and experiential education at Stanford University. He holds doctorate degrees in educational leadership from the University of Florida.
Chancellor at Pima Community College in Tucson for nearly 10 years, Lambert previously served as president of Shoreline Community College in Washington. He holds a juris doctor from Seattle University.
Prior to joining San Mateo County Community College District in 2021 as executive vice chancellor of administrative services, Storti served as deputy chancellor of West Hills Community College District in Coalinga. He holds a doctorate degree in education from the University of Southern California.
Now in her third year as president at San José City College, Tomaneng previously served as president of Berkeley City College. She holds a doctorate degree in international multicultural education from the University of San Francisco.
A search committee made up of the district’s constituent groups recommended the finalists after a national search. The district’s board of trustees expects to complete the selection process in June.
“We are grateful to the search committee and our consultants for bringing us such qualified candidates to succeed chancellor Miner,” board president Patrick Ahrens said in a statement.
