Community College of Philadelphia (CCP) seeks a dynamic and human-centered systems thinker and collaborative student success champion to serve as the inaugural Senior Vice President for Student Experience (SVP). The SVP will serve as the College’s senior-most executive responsible for leading institution-wide student experience and enrollment management functions. Joining CCP on the heels of significant institutional activity, including the institution’s 60th anniversary, recent Carnegie Community Engagement Classification designation, and an ongoing efforts to strengthen and align the organizational leadership structure, the incoming SVP will be uniquely positioned to break down administrative siloes, align policies and procedures to maximize student impact, and enact a student experience strategy that revolutionizes support systems and outcomes for all students while maintaining CCP’s longstanding commitment to economic mobility and access.

Founded in 1965, Community College of Philadelphia is the largest and only public open-admission higher educational institution in Philadelphia. Originally conceived as a local, affordable alternative to four-year institutions, the College has evolved into a comprehensive center for workforce development, preparation for foundational bachelor's degrees, and community learning. Committed to fulfilling the promise of higher education for all Philadelphians, CCP is currently home to over 10,600 full-time equivalent students and has provided educational access to more than 700,000 Philadelphians during its six-decade history.

Reporting directly to President Dr. Alycia Marshall and serving as a member of the Cabinet and Executive Leadership Team, the SVP will provide strategic vision, leadership, and oversight for enrollment, admissions, financial aid, registration, student programs, and student support services. Tasked with developing and executing comprehensive enrollment and retention strategies, the SVP will lead efforts to attract, enroll, retain, support, and graduate students while ensuring an exceptional and inclusive student experience. This leader will partner across the institution to remove barriers to student success, improve student engagement and persistence, and align services with the College’s mission and strategic priorities with a keen commitment to equitable student outcomes.
