Christina Espinosa-Pieb
Christina G. Espinosa-Pieb was appointed acting president of De Anza College by Foothill-De Anza district Chancellor Lee Lambert on Feb. 29, 2024, following the resignation of Lloyd A. Holmes.
Espinosa-Pieb, who previously served as vice president of Instruction, has been a strong voice for diversity, equity and student success during a career that has spanned more than four decades at De Anza.
A first-generation college student herself, Espinosa-Pieb initially came to De Anza as a community volunteer, working with disabled students. She was hired as a student employee a few months later, in 1980.
Over the next 18 years she held a variety of increasingly responsible positions – including administrative assistant, lead affirmative action representative, and coordinator of Disability Support Programs and Services – before becoming dean of Academic Services in 1999. She was appointed vice president of Instruction in 2008.
Espinosa-Pieb served as vice president through the end of 2023, except for a period when she was interim president of De Anza during a previous leadership transition from 2018-2020.
