LA Southwest College Building

Meet the Interim Chancellor


Alberto J. Román, D.P.A.

"I have dedicated my career to public education, driven by a commitment to transforming communities and advancing social mobility through equitable educational access. I am excited to expand these efforts on behalf of LACCD’s diverse community of students, faculty, and staff. LACCD embodies the very best of Los Angeles, with its rich diversity and boundless potential. I am honored to take on this role and look forward to working collaboratively to ensure everyone has the support and resources needed to thrive within our campus communities.

Working alongside such a dynamic community of students, educators, and leaders is a privilege, and as a first-generation college student myself, I hold a profound respect for LACCD’s role in creating access to quality education. I am particularly inspired by our mission to foster an inclusive environment where every student, regardless of background, can realize their potential. I am fully committed to enhancing instructional quality and expanding student support services to help students achieve their educational and career goals.

Alberto J. Román

Together, we will ensure that LACCD continues to be a transformative force in the lives of our students and that we advance our shared commitment to equity, inclusion, and social justice."
