Joyce Judy has been president of Community College of Vermont (CCV) since 2009. A special focus of her work is expanding access to higher education for all Vermonters, from high school students taking college courses to adult students seeking new career opportunities. She has overseen the development of a broad number of workforce education initiatives and has been a statewide leader in increasing the number of students who continue their education after high school.
By expanding CCV’s relationships with the philanthropic community, Judy has achieved significant growth in private support for CCV initiatives, including several scholarship programs, the Introduction to College and Careers course to improve college-going rates of Vermont high school students, and enhanced services to veterans and military students.
Judy serves on the New England Board of Higher Education Executive Board, the New England Commission of Higher Education, the Vermont Higher Education Council, the Vermont Business Roundtable, and the College Board Community College Advisory Group. She is a member of the Future of Vermont Action Team, convened to steer the Vermont Council on Rural Development’s Vermont Proposition, which seeks to advance resilience, justice, strong communities, and a sustainable economy.
