Team Fundraising Page of Stephanie J. Fujii

Stephanie J. Fujii, Ph.D., has spent over 35 years learning alongside students and colleagues in higher education, with deep roots in student affairs, college counseling, instruction, and community college leadership. As President of Arapahoe Community College, she draws on her experiences as tenured counseling faculty, division chair, dean and vice-president—roles that taught her the power of listening, collaboration, and meeting students and staff where they are. Stephanie's own journey as a struggling college student profoundly shaped her path. Student Affairs professionals who believed in her during difficult times inspired her to pursue graduate work in counseling and college student development. Their investment became the foundation of her work: a commitment to helping others recognize their inherent gifts and potential. She has been fortunate to contribute to conversations on inclusion, resilience, and student persistence through publications and interviews with Inside Higher Ed and The Chronicle of Higher Education. Stephanie's service to the profession includes serving on the boards of Campus Compact and ASU+GSV Higher Education Insights, and as Chair-Elect of the American Association of Community Colleges, continuing to learn from colleagues dedicated to values-centered, inclusive leadership
