Effective Jan. 1, 2021, Dr. Jasmine Ruys is set to serve as Vice President of Student Services at College of the Canyons, replacing Dr. Michael Wilding who retired in December of 2020.
“I am honored to have been selected as the new Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of Student Services,” said Ruys. “College of the Canyons offers exceptional instruction, services, and support for our students and our community. I recognize the critical role this position makes to the success of our students. I am dedicated to meeting the needs of our students and to break down the barriers our students face.”
Joining COC in 2001, Ruys has earned a reputation of leadership, having held positions at the college including Student Service Specialist, Administrative Assistant, Director of Admissions and Records and Dean of Enrollment Services.
As Dean of Enrollment Service, Ruys opened the Multicultural Center and helped move student services to an online platform in a way that complied with statewide mandates and the new Guided Pathways framework.
Additionally, during her tenure at the college, Ruys has overseen the Admissions and Records office, Student Business Office, Veterans, Outreach and School Relations, Counseling, Canyons Promise and the transfer center.

Van Hook. “Her passion for education and student success is undeniable, and her commitment to equity and access energizes others and is essential to the success of our students. I look forward to seeing the possibilities that will be created through her leadership, flexibility, and can-do attitude. College of the Canyons and our students will benefit greatly from her experience, energy and enthusiasm.”
