President's Office

President Coon

Welcome

It's my pleasure to welcome you to San José City College!

SJCC, at its core, has a solid academic tradition, a culture of service and success, and an unwavering commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice.
 
We encourage you to discover your Jaguar SPOT or Student Pathway to Opportunity and Transfer. Our SPOTs are eight areas of study designed to help you transfer to a four-year college or university in as little as two years.
 
As the longest-serving community college in Santa Clara County, SJCC, has provided students with a top-notch, quality education since 1921. We offer more than 70 degrees and certificates, including career education programs. We are also home to the renowned Jaguar Athletics Program, which has produced numerous Olympic athletes and championship teams.
 
Unsurprisingly, we are a top transfer institution to four-year universities, including the UC, CSU systems,  and many private institutions.
 
Every aspect of the San José City College experience has your success in mind, including our outstanding faculty, dedicated staff, and administrators and programs such as  EOPS,  METAS, Puente, Umoja, and Mesa; and services such as the Transfer Center, and Learning Resource Center, and Basic Needs programs.
 
SJCC is also a caring campus with a strong culture of belonging. Students of all ages come to us from various backgrounds, cultures, countries, and statuses. Our #1 priority is to ensure that the college's broad range of services creates an environment that allows students to thrive in the classroom and beyond, whether on the SJCC campus or Milpitas Extension.
 

On any given day during the academic year, you will find various events and activities happening all around campus and in our community. I urge you to participate and experience all San José City College offers. Here, you will discover and develop your best talents, attain your goals, and move on to a brilliant future. Go Jaguars!

In Community Spirit,
Rowena M. Tomaneng, Ed.D.
