Welcome to Central Arizona College

I am honored and excited to serve as Central Arizona College’s 10th president. I recognize the work the College has accomplished, and I look forward to working with our students, employees and communities as we shape the future of CAC.

For more than 50 years, CAC has proudly served Pinal County by providing accessible, affordable and high-quality education that transforms lives and strengthens the communities we serve.

Education changes lives and creates pathways to meaningful careers. At CAC, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and succeed.

Whether you’re earning a degree or certificate, preparing to transfer to a university, developing career skills, advancing professionally or learning for personal growth, CAC is here to help you reach your goals. With five campuses and flexible online learning, we are committed to providing an accessible, affordable and high-quality education that prepares students for today and for the opportunities of tomorrow.

Our faculty and staff are dedicated to creating an environment where students are welcome, supported and empowered to succeed.

We also recognize that our responsibility extends beyond our campuses. Through strong partnerships with businesses, industry, the county and communities throughout the region, CAC plays a role in developing a skilled workforce, supporting economic growth and creating opportunities for individuals in Pinal County, across Arizona and beyond.

We Are CAC.
