Eddie Michel and "Lil Eddie"

Father-and-Son Duo getting it Done at City College

December 03, 2025

Father and son Eddie and “Lil Eddie” Michel are the unsung heroes behind San Diego City College’s daily operations — one leading the facilities crew, the other managing campus deliveries. With decades of dedication between them, their story highlights a powerful family legacy of service and care. From everyday logistics to moments of real courage, the Michels are proof that “You Belong” isn’t just a motto — it’s a mission.

 

Zoom meeting with City College

Congratulations on Your Dissertation, Tillie!

February 18, Matilda “Tillie” Chavez successfully defended her doctoral dissertation at Old Dominion University, earning her Ph.D. in Community College Leadership. Her study, Identifying Professional Development Needs of Deans at California Community Colleges, examined leadership competency gaps among deans and senior administrators across 17 California community colleges. The research identified significant needs in equity and cultural responsiveness, conflict management, communication, and leadership practices, providing an important foundation to strengthen professional development for community college leaders.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Chavez on this outstanding achievement and the meaningful contribution her work makes to advancing leadership across California’s community colleges.
