The Student Affairs Leadership Team (SALT) at Bakersfield College consists of the following areas:
Fellow Renegades,
Bakersfield College is truly a special place. At BC, you will find opportunities to be challenged and supported. It is a privilege for me and the entire Student Affairs team to serve and support you along your journey to academic and personal success. Our goal is to help you thrive by providing exemplary co-curricular services and programs. The departments within the Division of Student Affairs include: Admissions & Records, Athletics, Counseling & Advising, Disabled Student Programs & Services (DSPS), Extended Opportunity Programs & Services (EOPS), CARE, CalWorks, Financial Aid, Job Placement & Work ABILITY III, Outreach, Office of Student Life, Student Health & Wellness Center, Testing & Placement Services, and Veteran Services. Together, we promote and facilitate learning opportunities outside the classroom to complement your entire educational experience.
I invite you to engage with other members of the Bakersfield College community (students, staff, faculty, and administrators). Being a part of any community requires every member’s full and active participation. I encourage you to strive for educational excellence and practice good citizenship. And remember, we are here to help. Never hesitate to reach out to any member of the Student Affairs team. Your success is our success.
Emmanuel Mourtzanos, Ed.D.
Vice President of Student Affairs
As part of the BC Administrative Council, each educational and classified administrator and manager of SALT develops an annual work plan. Please visit the BC Administrative Council website under the Office of the President for all SALT members' work plans.
