Wheelhouse was founded in 2016 to strengthen leadership and practice in the California Community Colleges, the nation’s largest system of higher education. We deliver professional and peer learning for annual, select cohorts of Wheelhouse Fellows—campus presidents, superintendent/ presidents and district chancellors. We focus on leading change, performance analytics, individual and organizational agility, and research and policy know-how. Throughout, we build lasting peer networks. Learn more about the Leadership Institutes here.

Wheelhouse also brings research to practice by disseminating timely, digestible, independent briefs to decision-making audiences at the state, regional and local levels.

Our work is led by a diverse and committed team and counseled by a Board of Advisors composed of long-time leaders in community colllege practice and research.
