Jamillah Moore, currently the interim vice chancellor of educational services and planning for the San Mateo County Community College District, has been named the new president of Canada Community College in Woodside following what board President Dave Mandelkern called "a nationwide search" for candidates.
The board acted on June 8, and the vote for Ms. Moore was unanimous, a district spokesperson said.
