Dear Peralta Community,
I am thrilled to officially welcome S. Jamila Buckner as our new Vice Chancellor of Human Resources and Employee Relations. Jamila, who started on July 15th, brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to fostering positive employee relations and strategic human resource management. Her leadership will be invaluable as we continue to build a thriving and inclusive workplace for everyone at Peralta.

I’ve enjoyed getting to know Jamila better, and I’m grateful to Joe Sullivan, Cecy Vazquez, and Bendi Yilmaz from our Marketing Department, who helped create this video so you can, too. I encourage you to take a few moments to watch it and learn more about her as a person and what she hopes to bring to our District. It’s a short video, but we cover a lot of ground, including Disney adventures, culinary delights, musical favorites, and even a bit on Artificial Intelligence! You can watch the video below or by clicking here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDyvV1ayZUY
Please join me in extending a warm Peralta welcome to S. Jamila Buckner. I am confident that her expertise and dedication will be a tremendous asset to our community.
Sincerely,
Dr. Tammeil Gilkerson
Chancellor
Peralta Community College District
