Instruction and Academic Affairs
The CSI Office of Instruction and Academic Affairs is committed to upholding the College mission that is to provide quality educational, social, cultural, economic and workforce development opportunities that meet the diverse needs of the communities we serve.
The Office of Instruction and Academic Affairs team provides leadership and support in establishing and maintaining quality programs in service to our students and our community, promotes learning and professional development opportunities for faculty and staff, and strives to be a leader in building and maintaining a college-wide culture that values people and promotes cooperation and collaboration.
How Instruction and Academic Affairs is Organized
The Office of Instruction and Academic Affairs oversees a wide range of instructional departments. Each department is led by a chair who reports to an instructional dean. The primary divisions include General and Transfer Education and Career and Technical Education. While these divisions help clarify reporting lines and responsibilities, they work closely together and are not independent of one another.
