Ohlone Community College District
Dr. Gari Browning has been President/Superintendent of the Ohlone Community College District since July 2008. During that time her leadership of the college resulted in sound fiscal management in the midst of statewide budget cuts over the course of five years; resolved issues threatening the college's accreditation that she encountered on the first day she began her tenure as president; and a successfully passed bond for $349 million.
Dr. Browning shared some historical statistics from Ohlone Community College District:
375,000 students over 50 years
Student body of over 16,500 students annually
190 degrees and certificates
25 career and technical programs
23 Associate Degrees for Transfer
Classes of interest to adults
Dr. Browning also shared some of the challenges faced by the College District, especially in light of how demand for services and availability of funding are off-cycle based on the California state economy.
Despite challenges, Ohlone Community College District has had some impressive outcomes.
