Pueblo Community College Southwest named Lisa Molina, director of student services, vice president. She will begin Monday, Jan. 5.
As director of student services, Molina oversaw student support, enrollment efforts and regional partnerships, according to a PCC Southwest news release. She joined PCC Southwest in 2018 and earned employee-of-the-year honors in 2024.
“Lisa’s seven years with, and demonstrated commitment to, PCC Southwest, her strong history of leadership in student affairs and her strong references made her the obvious choice for this position,” PCC President Chato Hazelbaker said. “I’m excited for her to begin her work as we create our new strategic plan which includes specific plans for the branch campuses.”
Molina has 15 years of experience in student success, advising and higher education leadership. She is from Mio, Michigan, and earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from Alma College and two master’s degrees from Central Michigan University – one in higher education administration and the other in philanthropy and fundraising.
“I am honored to step into this role and continue serving the southwest region. I look forward to supporting our students and strengthening partnerships,” Molina said. “I’m excited to build on our current momentum and support the continued growth and impact of PCC Southwest.”
Interim Vice President Kevin Aten will remain through Friday, Jan. 30, to assist with the transition.
