Meet Steve Gibson

Dr. Steve Gibson has spent his career expanding opportunity and delivering results for our community. As President of the Pasadena City College Board of Trustees, Steve has championed student success, expanded access and opportunity, strengthened community engagement, and helped lead generational investments into PCC’s future.

Steve’s roots in Pasadena City College run deep. As a former PCC student, he experienced firsthand the transformative role community colleges can play in creating opportunity and helping all people achieve their goals.

In 2022, he ran for the PCC Board because he saw public education under attack and believed PCC could do more than simply protect what it had built: it could dream bigger and deliver for every student who walks through its doors.

As a Trustee, Steve has worked alongside PCC’s faculty, staff, administrators, and students to build on that vision. During his first term, student enrollment surpassed pre-pandemic benchmarks. He has been a strong supporter of the PCC-PUSD partnership at John Muir High School, which earned the California Exemplary Dual Enrollment Award in 2026 for its success. Today, PCC ranks first in transfer to the UC and CSU systems.

Steve’s commitment to our community is also deeply personal. A longtime Altadena resident, he lost his home, along with too many of our neighbors, in the Eaton Fire. As he and his wife, Charlotte, have worked to rebuild, Steve has also worked to ensure PCC is there for our Dena.
