100 Days & Beyond

Vision, hope, and action must begin with listening. During my first 100 days, I embarked on a listening tour to establish rapport with the campus community and reviewed key operational and college planning documents with the leadership team to make sure we are meeting college and district priorities.

I have thoroughly enjoying listening and learning about the institution, its important role in the community, our campus culture and character, and our take on participatory governance processes and organizational structure. Attending art, music, and athletics events has revealed to me the many talents of our students. You have been seen and heard.

Communication connects us and as we embrace change, I am reminded of an astute observation Albert Einstein made about expectations, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” We cannot expect different results while doing the same thing.

Here are my observations and the themes from my 100 days of listening.
