Presidential Search Open Forums and Campus Tours

April 17, 2026

MSJC Community,

The Presidential Search finalist campus forums are just around the corner, and we look forward to your participation in this important and exciting step in the process.

All forums will be held in the Temecula Valley Campus Boardroom (TA-301) and livestreamed via YouTube. Access links will be available on the Presidential Search webpage. If capacity is reached in the Boardroom, an overflow space will be available in Room TA-401, where the livestream can be viewed.

Overflow attendees are encouraged to ask questions in person in the Boardroom, but are also welcome to submit questions electronically. An electronic question form will be available for each candidate at the start of their individual forum. Virtual viewers should submit questions via the electronic form. Candidate feedback forms will open at 1:00 p.m. and close promptly at 5:30 p.m. on April 21. It is strongly recommended that you submit your feedback immediately following each candidate forum, rather than waiting until the end of all forums. Providing your input via these forms to the Board of Trustees is highly encouraged.

Forum Schedule:

1:10 p.m. – Dr. Lonita Cordova
2:10 p.m. – Dr. Daniel Lopez
3:10 p.m. – Dr. Tawny Dotson
4:10 p.m. – Dr. Jeannie Kim

Please visit the Presidential Search webpage for full details and access links.

Finally, candidates will be touring our campuses earlier in the day. If you happen to see them, please feel free to offer a warm welcome as they experience the outstanding work happening across MSJC.

Thank you for your engagement and continued support.

Sincerely,

Tom Ashley, President
Board of Trustees
Mt. San Jacinto College
