On October 12, 2022, the Ohlone Community College District Board of Trustees announced the appointment of Mr. Anthony F. DiSalvo as Interim President-Superintendent of Ohlone College, replacing Dr. Eric Bishop.
With over 25 years of community college experience, Interim President DiSalvo has been with Ohlone College since May 2020 as Vice President of Academic Affairs-Deputy Superintendent. Prior to Ohlone, he served as Vice President of Academic Affairs at Copper Mountain College and as an academic dean at Chaffey College and College of the Desert, both located in Southern California. Interim President DiSalvo began his community college career as a Professor of French and Spanish at Frederick Community College in Maryland.
“As a first-generation American born to non-English speaking immigrant parents, I understand the power of a culturally, linguistically, and racially diverse community college that prides itself on transforming the lives of all the communities it serves,” says Interim President DiSalvo.
The search for a new president will begin in November. The Ohlone Community College Board of Trustees has contracted with the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) to conduct a national search for qualified candidates.
A search committee representing both the college and community interests is being formed to recommend the most qualified candidates to the Ohlone Community College Board.
