Bakersfield College:
Bakersfield College is located in Bakersfield, California, in the
heart of the Central Valley. Established in 1913, Bakersfield
College is one of the nation's oldest continually operating
community colleges. The college serves 33,000 students annually on
the 153-acre main campus in northeast Bakersfield, at the Delano
Campus (35 miles north of Bakersfield), the Weill Institute
(downtown Bakersfield), and BC South-West (southwest Bakersfield).
We also offer classes at several alternative locations, including
Shafter Learning Center, Arvin/Lamont, McFarland, Olive Drive
Training Facility, Wasco and other regional community
locations.
As a recognized and highly awarded Hispanic Serving Institution,
Bakersfield College students are diverse and represent the
communities we serve.On Diversity, Equity and Inclusion:
We are sincere about building and sustaining an inclusive and
equitable working and learning environment for all students,
faculty, staff and administrators. We believe every member of our
team enriches our diversity by exposing us to a broad range of ways
to understand and engage with the world, identify challenges, and
to discover, design and deliver solutions. Bakersfield College has
sharpened its focus on removing institutional barriers in access,
momentum, and completion.
We pledge to address systemic issues of environmental
microaggressions, implicit bias, and racism through intentional
learning. We commit to strengthening our campus culture so that
students, faculty, and staff and our partners are aware of and
equipped to change policies and practices that disproportionately
affect marginalized students.About the Bakersfield Community:
Situated in the south San Joaquin Valley, Bakersfield has a rapidly
growing economy in a location that is central to some of
California's best places to visit. Fresno, Los Angeles, the
mountains and several great beaches are less than two hours away,
and San Francisco is less than four hours away. Known for hot, dry
summers and mild winters, Bakersfield has deep roots in the energy
(oil, solar and wind), agriculture, and logistics industries.
Despite its growth, Bakersfield has maintained the "small town
feel" that residents here love. With a relatively low cost of
living, plenty of community events, and availability of housing,
the City of Bakersfield is a great place to live.
Representative Duties

inclusiveness. If you are interested in modeling academic
excellence for your students and colleagues, we invite you to join
a team that will challenge and inspire you.
