John L. Cox, EdD, CPA, assumed leadership of Cape Cod Community College on July 1, 2012, committed to the success of its students across the Cape, the Islands, and the South Coast of Massachusetts. Developing and strengthening partnerships with businesses, nonprofits, government, and other educational institutions he has leveraged the College’s efforts to continue to expand education and workforce development opportunities, increase retention, and enhance the success of students, faculty, and staff.

President Cox has led the expansion of technical education programs, including the FAA-approved accelerated aviation maintenance technician program. Under his leadership, the program gained $1.95 million in state support to acquire airport hangar space for classrooms, $2.5 million in Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training funding from the US Department of Labor presented by Vice President Joe Biden, and $300,000 in National Science Foundation support to provide additional aid to students. This program involves partnerships with several airlines, including Cape Air and JetBlue, the U.S. Coast Guard, and other aviation service companies.
