“We continue to learn how the best community colleges improve outcomes for students and close persistent race- and income-based equity gaps,” said Josh Wyner, 大学卓越计划的执行主任. “This year’s fellows have demonstrated their commitment to achieving excellent and equitable student outcomes, and we are eager to work with them as they join Aspen’s network of more than 100 fellows who serve as community college presidents.”

“I’m thrilled to be joining the next class of the Aspen Institute’s New Presidents Fellowship for Community College Excellence,” says Dr. 维罗妮卡·加西亚，东北湖景学院院长.

“Over the next year, I’ll be spending time with 24 other college presidents from around the country learning from top community college experts new ways to develop student success strategies and build strong partnerships to advance success for our students.”
