CHANCELLOR, VIRGINIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM, RICHMOND
Virginia Business// August 29, 2024//
When Doré arrived in Richmond in April 2023 to become the 10th chancellor of the Virginia Community College System, he began his tenure by traveling 3,600 miles in 36 days on a listening tour across the state.
As head of the state’s community college system, Doré oversees 23 colleges with 40 campuses and more than 200,000 students. The former president of Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona, he replaced Glenn DuBois, who was VCCS’ chancellor for more than two decades.
One of Doré’s chief goals is to see all Virginia high school students graduate with a community college credential under their belts. In a February op-ed co-authored with Virginia Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Barry DuVal, Doré wrote that every $1 spent on community college education results in $5.70 in lifetime earnings for a VCCS student, according to a December 2023 study by Lightcast.
Doré earned his doctorate in education at Pepperdine University and master’s degrees from Georgetown, Boston College and Santa Clara University.
