“The story of our college is the story of our students.”

 

That's the motto of Coconino Community College President Colleen A. Smith, PhD.

 

With more than 40 years of experience at community colleges in Texas, Wyoming and Arizona, Dr. Smith stays focused on keeping Students First.

 

She started her career as a faculty member in the Fine Arts. She was eventually encouraged to head into the administrative ranks because of her passion for community colleges and her desire to offer students a quality and affordable education in order to help them achieve their educational goals.
