Lambert, PCC's leader since 2013, will helm a community college district near Silicon Valley.
Kathryn Palmer Arizona Daily Star Lee Lambert, chancellor of Pima Community College since 2013, is leaving for a new job as chancellor of the Foothill De Anza Community College District near Silicon Valley in California.
When Lambert, who received a $348,935 annual salary from PCC, took the job a decade ago, PCC was working through serious accreditation issues. Within the first few years of his administration, the college’s accreditor, the Higher Learning Commission, took the school off of probation and it is now restored to good standing.
At the same time, Lambert received regular praise from Tucson’s business community for his efforts to forge partnerships between the college and industry to meet the changing workforce demands of the 21st century. His signature project, Centers of Excellence — now in the final phases of completion — was designed to offer the latest training in the fields of applied technology, health care, hospitality, information technology and cybersecurity, and public safety.
