Today, CCCS is honored to name our State Board meeting space the Joe Garcia Board Room, recognizing the leadership, vision, and legacy of retired Chancellor Joe Garcia.
During his tenure, Joe led CCCS through a period of profound transformation—expanding access, modernizing online learning, strengthening transfer pathways, advancing equity, and unifying our colleges through a strong “Power of 13” culture.
This dedication is made possible through the generous leadership gift of Bruce and Beverly Wagner, whose support advances the Chancellor’s Unrestricted Endowment and ensures CCCS continues to serve Colorado with innovation and impact. Former SBCCOE member Jim Johnson also supported the fund with an initialmomentum-building gift.
Join us in celebrating Joe and thanking the Wagner family and Jim Johnson for their extraordinary partnership.
