Yet, why and how institutional systems and practices evolve and transform themselves must be centered on our core values of equity and justice. This all-day workshop is designed for leaders of color who want to identify, establish and engage in developing colleges based on building and sustaining trust, mutual respect, connectedness, and student and community engagement. This workshop will include topics such as scalability of positive institutional and process changes, reflective and equity-centered institutional practices, identifying challenges of DEI work, and the ability for leaders to engage in work/life balance and to be nimble to respond to change. The three Councils have been committed for over 12 years to work collaboratively to increase the pipeline for future community college leaders. Past workshops have provided opportunities to share and learn from institutional best practices from nationally recognized practitioners of organizational change. This highly interactive workshop will be led and facilitated by experienced leaders of color from community colleges across the country.

Second: We will discuss interviewing and host mock interviews. You will have the opportunity to practice interviewing and receive immediate feedback from your peers and our panel of experts. Learn how to present yourself in ways which are uniquely your own and capitalize on the qualities that make you the candidate of choice. Learn the critical strategies, skill sets, and approaches of successful candidates. Third: After you become a finalist, the search will likely go public. We will review your bio/photo and discuss your campus visit, public forums, and interviewing with a governing board. Additionally, you will learn about the trustee perspective when boards are interviewing candidates. Now that you’ve landed the presidency, the workshop will conclude with important information on governance and how to prepare to work with and for a governing board.

Sadly, many immigrants, refugees, and speakers of other languages are unable to access these programs, simply because English is a barrier.

Which academic programs really lead to good jobs? What labor data can I trust to answer these questions? Join us while we explore labor market trends, debunk labor “data” myths, and redefine the data needed to evaluate academic programs. We will share current job posting data and explore whether hot fields, like computer science, have gone cold. We will analyze the reliability of commonly-used labor forecasts. We will correct common misconceptions about the relationship between majors and jobs – and prove that Liberal Arts graduates do get jobs. We show how wrong the data on labor market supply and demand can be – and how to fix it. Finally, we will show that labor data is just one aspect of program evaluation and describe the other data you need to make sound academic program decisions.
