Kanter had as her goal to hire the best full-time and part-time faculty, staff and administrators to educate more than 25,000 students, the majority from low-income backgrounds. She opened the first Advanced Technology Center and Multicultural Center to bridge intercultural, international and foreign language programs on campus - both of these the first in California's 112 community colleges.
In 1977, after serving as an alternative high school teacher in Massachusetts and New York, she established the first program for students with learning disabilities at San Jose City College (Calif.). She then served as a director, dean and subsequently vice chancellor for policy and research for the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office in Sacramento. In 1990, she returned to San Jose City College as vice president of instruction and student services until she was named president of De Anza College in 1993, serving in this position for a decade until her appointment as chancellor.
