Dear SRJC Community, 

I am pleased to share that I am returning to campus effective May 1, 2025, to resume my full responsibilities as Superintendent/President. The time away was essential for my recovery from surgery, including ongoing physical therapy.  While there is still some healing ahead, I am grateful for the opportunity to address these critical health matters. 

You may notice me walking with a cane and moving a little more slowly. I appreciate your patience with both me and the President’s Office team as we adjust my schedule to accommodate my physical limitations in the short term. 

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Vice President Kate Jolley for serving as Acting Superintendent/President during my absence.  She provided stable and present leadership through a very active April. I am also grateful to the President’s Cabinet and the President’s Office team for the ways they stepped in to ensure the District’s operations continued smoothly and remained in full service of our mission, colleagues, students, and community.

I am grateful to be in community with you once again and look forward to seeing you in person. 

Walking Slowly but Forward, 

Angélica Garcia, Ed.D.
Superintendent/President
