Dr. Lisa A. Sugimoto was chosen to serve as president of PCC by the Pasadena Area Community College District Board of Trustees at the Board's regularly scheduled meeting on Oct. 7. Sugimoto had been serving as the institution's acting president since August of this year.

"I am honored to serve the College, our students, and our dedicated administration, faculty, and support staff in providing guidance for our future," said Sugimoto. "Having been a student at PCC many years ago, I am honored to be appointed the interim president at this time in the College’s history."    

Sugimoto has served as vice president of Student and Learning Services since 2003, overseeing the areas of Admissions and Records; Counseling and Career Services; Extended Opportunity Programs and Services; the Learning Assistance Center; the New Media Center; Outreach, Degree and Transfer Services; Scholarships and Financial Aid; and Special Services.

She started her 33-year career in community colleges at PCC in 1976 as a part-time staff member and became a counselor in 1977.  During this span, Sugimoto taught the peer advising course, accounting/bookkeeping, and finite business mathematics. Before joining PCC in her present capacity, Sugimoto spent 14 years as dean of counseling, Student Development, and Support Services at Long Beach City College. From 1985 to 1989, she coordinated the Transfer Center programs at Cerritos Community College.
