UCI Starts Community College Leadership Program
Celebration of Women Held for First Time
UCI has become the first public university in the county to offer a communi-ty college leadership program, with three new initiatives designed to prepare lead-ers for the region’s community colleges.
First, UCI has been selected as the regional site serving the greater LosAngeles basin in the California Community College Leadership Institute. It isbeing coordinated by the Claremont Graduate University. The institute is offeringa week-long Leadership Academy this July at Claremont Graduate University, fol-lowed by eight day-long regional meetings at UCI throughout the next year.
In conjunction with theat program, UCI plans to admit a small group ofcommunity college leaders to its Ed.D. program in Educational Administration. Itis a part-time program designed for full-time working professionals. The applica-tion deadline is April 15. Information is available by calling Leora Fellus at (949)824-5910 or by e-mailing [email protected].
Finally, UCI is planning to offer a certificate of advanced study in educationalleadership with a specialization in community college leadership. It is designed tobe completed over a period of 15 months to two years, depending on the pace thestudent selects. The certificate’s doctoral-level courses may later be applied toUCI’s Ed.D. program. More information on the certificate is available by callingDennis Evans at (949) 824-7608 or by e-mailing [email protected].
Regina Rimes, Dr. Lewis andKim Wise all shared poems by favoriteauthors. Donna Friess, known oncampus for being an author, displayedsome of her artwork. And, MaryForman recalled an exchange with oneof her college professors: “I asked herwhy there were no female authors onthe syllabus. She replied ‘That’sbecause there are no good femaleauthors.’”
Thus began the first “Celebration
of Women” event, which was held aspart of Women’s History Month.
The event was billed as a creativeexpression, designed to showcase thetalents and accomplishments ofwomen.
It was held last Thursday, from 4-7 p.m., in the Theater Lobby — fol-lowing a venue change prompted byMother Nature, whose gusts of windmade the pond a less-than-ideal loca-tion.
