On Tuesday, March 11, San Diego College of Continuing Education President Dr. Tina M. King was awarded with a Proclamation during the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors Meeting in honor of Women’s History Month.
Supervisor Monica Montgomery Steppe and Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer presented Dr. King with the coveted honor.
“I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the County Board of Supervisors for this incredible recognition in honor of Women’s History Month. I am deeply humbled and honored to receive the Proclamation,” said President King.
“As the President of San Diego College of Continuing Education, I recognize that this acknowledgment is not only a personal achievement but a testament to the incredible work of our students, faculty, staff, and the broader community. It is through collaboration, dedication, and the pursuit of educational equity that we continue to empower individuals and change lives. I am proud to be part of a community where women’s contributions—both in history and today—are celebrated, and I look forward to continuing to work together to support the aspirations and potential of every individual we serve.”
In July 2022, Dr. King was named President of San Diego College of Continuing Education, the largest and longest standing noncredit college in the nation to provide free career training, serving nearly 30,000 students annually.
King has served in every sector of public education in California, with a commitment to advocating for students and educators revolving around issues that affect diversity, equity, inclusion, anti-racism, and access at the center.
County of San Diego Proclamations are awarded in recognition of significant milestones and outstanding achievements. Supervisor Montgomery Steppe acknowledged King as the first Afro-Latina President of the College of Continuing Education, highlighting her role in paving the way for greater representation of people of color, particularly women, in executive leadership positions. Her leadership is advancing transformative, equitable educational opportunities throughout San Diego County.
Montgomery Steppe called out King’s recent achievements for noncredit education including; establishing a cost-free Pre-Apprenticeship Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) academy launched at the Educational Cultural Complex in partnership with the California Firefighter Joint Apprenticeship Committee (Cal-JAC) and San Diego College of Continuing Education in May 2024, the restoration of Rossie Wade’s Black Family statue, for both the Mountain View Community Park and the Educational Cultural Complex, as well as King’s commitment toward policy reform that recognizes noncredit students as valuable contributors to the educational system and eliminates any institutional barriers that impede their progression to credit-bearing college on the heels of Vision 2030, a statewide campaign led by California Community Colleges Chancellor Sonya Christian.
The March 11th meeting was held at the County Administration Center in Downtown. San Diego Community College District Board Trustee Mariah Jameson and the College of Continuing Education’s executive president’s leadership team were proudly in attendance to support King and the institution.
Before joining the College of Continuing Education, King was previously Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of Student Affairs at Southwestern College and Dean of Instruction and Student Services and Director of Institutional Research and Planning for North Orange Continuing Education.
