Cuesta College has appointed Dr. Todd Hampton as its new Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of Administrative Services, effective Jan. 13. The San Luis Obispo County Community College District Board of Trustees approved the decision in December, following a national search and recommendation from Superintendent/President Dr. Jill Stearns.

Dr. Hampton brings over 14 years of experience in the California Community College system, including his recent role as Acting Superintendent/President at Taft College. He has served in various faculty and administrative roles and is committed to advancing student success by removing educational barriers.

“Dr. Hampton’s extensive leadership experience and passion for student success make him an excellent fit for Cuesta College,” said Dr. Stearns. “His commitment to removing barriers to education aligns perfectly with our mission to empower students and community.”

As a first-generation college graduate and California native, Dr. Hampton holds a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from CSU Northridge, an MBA, and a BS in Management Information Systems.

“I am so excited to join Cuesta College, an institution with a great reputation and welcoming community,” said Dr. Hampton. “This move marks an exciting new adventure for my family and me, and I look forward to helping where I can and working with the team at Cuesta to bring about any positive change together.”
