The Administrative & Professional Collaborative (APC) is the representative voice for the Administrative & Professional employees of FSCJ.

In an effort to build cohesiveness, awareness and collegiality, each month we put a “spotlight” on one of our members. March's Administrative & Professional Collaborative (APC) spotlight shines on Chief Information Officer Pete Snell. His journey at FSCJ began in 1999 when he started as a part-time desktop support technician, providing technical assistance to Downtown Campus. Over the years, Pete's dedication, passion and expertise propelled him through various technology roles within the institution, culminating in his current position.

With over two decades of hands-on experience in information technology and a deep understanding of the College's operations, Pete has played an integral role in shaping FSCJ's technological landscape. From troubleshooting desktop issues to implementing enterprise-level IT services and solutions, Pete's journey exemplifies his commitment to excellence and continuous growth.

As the CIO, Pete now oversees FSCJ’s entire information technology strategy. He leads strategic initiatives to leverage technology in enhancing educational experiences and optimizing institutional efficiency. He fosters a culture of innovation and collaboration, empowering his team to explore new ideas and approaches to meet the evolving needs of students, faculty and staff.

Pete's progression is a testament to the opportunities for growth and advancement available at FSCJ. He remains deeply invested in supporting student development and encourages the use of student employment within the IT department, recognizing the value of hands-on experience in shaping future IT professionals.

Outside of his professional endeavors, Pete enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters every chance he gets. He and his family enjoy traveling back to his home state of Massachusetts and vacationing on the lakes in Maine.
