Carlos Turner Cortez was on the job for one day when VOSD education reporter Will Huntsberry called him up for an interview.
Cortez's new gig is chancellor for the San Diego Community College District — overseeing roughly 100,000 students and 8,000 employees. This week on the VOSD Podcast, Cortez lays out the state of the district at the tail end of a pandemic and some big ideas he has for serving the most vulnerable San Diegans through community college.
Plus: The latest on 101 Ash St. and police oversight.
