Dr. Godbold, was the first African American Administrator hired as a Dean at the Orchard Ridge College of the Oakland County Community College District in Michigan, OCC. Dr. Godbold, shortly, acceded to the position of Provost and CEO of the College. He, as the Provost, experienced and successfully surmounted several challenges during his administration as the a first Black College CEO of a Suburban Community College that was overwhelming Caucasian in one of the most affluent Counties in the USA, particularly being accepted by the College Faculty, and providing educational opportunity for inner city Black and minority students. Dr. Godbold was recruited by the President of the Community College of Denver System to come to Denver to start the Auraria College of the System. Dr. Godbold again encountered many challenging but rewarding administrative experiences by having been given almost free rein to start the College for a very diverse student population. Dr. Godbold selected and mentored a diverse team of Faculty and Administrators, many of whom were new to Community College Education, at the time, who worked in make shift and gerrymandered facilities, until the college was built. Dr. Godbold's successes included the establishment of Counseling Teams, instituting a program of open entry-open exit Idividualized Self Paced Laboratory Instruction that qualified for State Apportionment. Dr. Godbold left the Community College of Denver System to accept the position of President of Merritt College upon the urging of Dr. Norvel Smith.

Dr. Godbold was successful in dealing with several of these problems, particularly in reorganizing the College, improving the budget management, instituting what became a Student Assistance Laboratory, and an improved faculty selection process. The sucesses of Dr. Godbold were noticed by the District Board of Trustees who offered him the position of District Vice Chancellor without announcing the position or going through a selection process.
