Dear Chancellor and LACCD Board Members,

The Pierce College community believes in the mission and values of the college. The Pierce College values are:

• Student success and engagement
• A student-friendly environment conducive to learning
• Freedom to think, dialogue, and collaborate
• Commitment to excellence
• Access and opportunity
• Service to our communities
• Enrichment through diversity

We, the undersigned, wish to express our support for a leader that embodies these values. Our hope is that you consider these values when selecting the acting, interim, and permanent Pierce College President(s).

Addressing the needs of a diverse student body will always be our highest priority. We seek a leader with the knowledge and experience necessary for a college president, who can reach out to, and build consensus with, members of the broader campus community. We appreciate a culture of trust, respect, and inclusion. We believe that the candidate who is sensitive to these needs will serve Pierce best.

Respectfully,

Los Angeles Pierce College Community
