The Virginia Community College System (VCCS) is dedicated to expanding access to high-quality education and workforce training that strengthens individuals, communities, and the Commonwealth. Guided by a mission to provide every learner with the opportunity to grow and develop essential skills, VCCS plays a vital role in shaping Virginia’s higher education and economic future.

Governed by a 15-member state board appointed by the governor, the system benefits from strong leadership and strategic oversight. Chancellor Dr. David Doré, the tenth leader of VCCS, oversees initiatives that support the system’s growth and responsiveness to statewide needs. With increasing demand for academic programs and workforce pathways, VCCS continues to transform lives by preparing thousands of Virginians for successful careers each year.
