San Jacinto College District

The San Jacinto College District Board of Regents announced on Monday that longtime employee Dr. Gwen Tilley would be the interim vice chancellor of instructional programs and services for the district.

Tilley is a 32-year employee at SJC who has served the past 22 years as vice president of instruction at the Central Campus. In this interim position, she will be working from the district administration building on Fairmont Parkway.

"I am delighted and honored that the board has chosen me for this position," Tilley said. "I have enjoyed working with the faculty and administration on Central Campus, and this position gives me the chance to work with faculty and administration from all of our campuses. This is an exciting time to be employed at San Jacinto College."

Tilley holds a bachelor and master's degrees from Texas A&M Kingsville (formerly Texas A&I University). Her doctoral degree is an Ed.D. from the University of Houston-University Park. As vice chancellor of instructional programs and services, Tilley is responsible for instruction for three campuses and 10 extension centers that serve 24,000 credit and an equal number of continuing education students.

Her position of vice president of instruction is being filled on an
interim basis by Dr. Mary May, academic dean at the Central Campus.
