Katy Ho, Interim President

Throughout her career, Katy has led with a student-centered and people-first approach, grounded in the understanding that community colleges can transform lives, strengthen communities, and create opportunity for all.
Her decision to serve in this role comes from a genuine commitment to supporting PCC during this period of transition and helping the college continue moving forward with clarity, empathy, and stability. Katy believes deeply in the work happening across PCC every day in our classrooms and behind the scenes, and in the collective power of our team to serve Portland’s students with compassion.
