Guest Speaker

Dr. Cris Valdez
President, Richland Community College

Cristobal “Cris” Valdez has nearly ten years of executive level experience in community colleges. He has served as the President of Richland Community College since August 2016 and prior to Richland he served in the same capacity at Central Wyoming and Edison Community College. At Richland, Dr. Valdez has focused on expanded internal and external communications, leadership development, academic and non-academic assessment, strengthening academic and student affairs programs and enhancing continuous improvement processes, teams and thinking.
Valdez believes that comprehensive community and technical colleges allow people to dream and provide the opportunities for those people to realize their dreams. He believes community colleges should remain open-door institutions that aspire to both high academic standards and high rates of student success and completion. Valdez added, “As leaders, we must continually strive for and demand excellence in each of the above areas”. His commitment as a leader in this environment is to instill trust and integrity, deliver and demand direct and accurate communication and strive for increased partnerships and collaboration to promote economic development and diversity in the larger community and region.
