Dixon-Peters said. “That other institutions see the value of her and they want her to be the head of a system. Not just a president of a college, but a system of multiple colleges.”

Vice President of the LACCD Board of Trustees Andra Hoffman works at Glendale Community College. She said she met Burke when she was the chair of the Visual and Performing Arts Department. She said Burke went on to do great things for Pierce as its president.

“It's a huge loss for the district and a huge loss for the college. She’s an incredible capable leader and she will do great things for Southern Orange County,” Hoffman said. “She has contributed as a true leader in all the capacities that she has served, but I think that she has done a particularly good job at Pierce College.”

Thomas Fallo was appointed as the acting chancellor of SOCCCD in November 2017 after Debra Fitzsimmons announced her retirement in October last year, according to an article in the Saddleback College Lariat.

Fallo was to serve as chancellor until summer 2018 when a permanent hire would be made.

As of April 30, Fallo resigned his position and Vice Chancellor Ann-Marie Gabel became acting chancellor.

Public Relations and Marketing Director Jennie McCue said that Fallo was only able to serve for a short time and Gabel will serve as interim until June 30, when Burke will take over as the permanent chancellor.

“This is an exciting time in higher education as we focus on increasing opportunities and success for our students,” Burke said in the press release. “I’m grateful to have been selected to serve as the chancellor of the South Orange County Community College District and to work with a board of trustees that is so dedicated to the communities we serve.”

Dixon-Peters said that with Burke as president, the college has been moving in the right direction.

“Change is good for colleges, and it will be difficult for us, but I think it’s a wonderful testament of her work here and she’s well deserving of a chancellor position,” Dixon-Peters said.

Jemal said that he was impressed with how Burke managed the accreditation process at Pierce College. He said it is an important part of being a college administrator and a leader, and he hopes she will take their district in the right direction.

“We have a fantastic multicollege district in South Orange County. Kathleen is the right person to lead our district at this time,” Jemal said. “It’s a phenomenal opportunity for her and our district to continue to move forward and serve our students the best we can.”
