Bobby Singh Gosal, Dean of Student Services at Sierra College, was recognized at the annual conference of the Association of California Community College Administrators (ACCCA) with the Leadership Award for Administrative Excellence. 

The ACCCA Leadership Award for Administrative Excellence was established in 1996 to honor an administrator or manager who has consistently shown leadership in the face of adversity, and whose commitment to professionalism in community college administration has stood out among their peers. 

During the presentation of the award at the ACCCA conference, Bobby addressed the audience and said, “Leadership is not just about navigating obstacles; at its core, it’s about fostering meaningful relationships and embodying values that uplift our students, our professional team members who are leaders in their own right, and our communities. It’s about being a mentor, a role model, a cheerleader, and a faithful supporter, guiding others toward their own paths of excellence and allowing them to become the best version of themselves, in the way they seek.”  

Nominees for the Leadership Award for Administrative Excellence should consistently demonstrate the following qualities: 

• A high degree of applied knowledge and expertise as a community college manager or administrator; 
• Creativity and innovation in their work; 
• Volunteerism that benefits the college and their profession; 
• A high level of commitment to their institution and community; and
