Clatsop Community College
President
Chris Breitmeyer
A Columbia Forum Presentation
Chris Breitmeyer started his career in education as
a high school biology instructor in Bloomington,
IL. After a few years his interest in learning more
about the world around us led him to enter
graduate school to study ecological genetics.
Eventually his passion for teaching led him to
a faculty position at Yavapai College in Arizona,
where he taught and learned with students for
ten years. Looking to challenge himself he made
the transition to academic leadership with a job
at Saint Charles Community College, eventually
becoming Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs. He now
feels like he has the best job in higher education as the president of
Clatsop Community College. He is an advocate for the mission of
community colleges, the change they can bring to their students, and
their communities.
