City College President Dr. Kathryn E. Jeffery welcomed King to the district at the Jan. 18 campus convocation.

“I believe we’ve all come back [this semester] filled with hope and high expectations for our college to have critical impact on the lives of our students, our community, our state and our world,” said Jeffery. “We also begin a new era of leadership for the Los Rios Community College District with the beginning of the spring semester.”

Los Rios Board Trustee Pamela Haynes expressed confidence at convocation in King’s leadership, saying that the chancellor will be a good fit for the district.

“We on the board feel so fortunate to have found someone so capable and caring to carry on the leadership of our exceptional district,” said Haynes. “The truth is we are an exceptional district because of our exceptional people.”

Harris retired as the Los Rios district chancellor after serving almost 16 years in the position and was named in September as chancellor of all 112 California community colleges. He began his new duties in November, according to the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office.

King acknowledged the need to come together as a district to better serve students. He said that at top of his list of tasks is getting to know Los Rios students, faculty and staff through storytelling.

“It is so important in my role as your chancellor to hear your stories,” said King. “And sharing your stories is very helpful for me to get the sense of what Sac City is all about and what makes it unique.

“Sharing the Sacramento City College story as your new chancellor, hearing your stories and learning more about you and your college is one of the most important things I can do in the coming weeks and months.”
