Community College Leadership Seminar Offered Spring 2005

 
The Academic Outreach unit and the Department of Educational Organization and Leadership (EOL) of UIUC are pleased to announce the Community College Leadership Seminar course will be offered during Spring 2005. This course explores how leadership and organizational theories apply to the specific context of the community college. A requirement for doctoral students in the Community College Executive Leadership program, this course is an excellent opportunity for others interested in community college leadership to learn from a national expert, Dr. David Pierce.

Dr. David Pierce is an Adjunct Professor of Higher Education at UIUC and the former President of the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), and an Executive Director of the community college systems in Illinois and Virginia. Bringing his extensive experience and knowledge of leadership to the classroom, Dr. Pierce is imminently qualified to facilitate this important course in community college leadership.

The Community College Leadership Seminar will meet on Fridays 5-9 and Saturdays 9-4 during the following weekends: Feb. 4- 5, March 4-5, April 1-2, and April 29-30.

Because of the relevance of this course to practicing and aspiring community college leaders throughout the state, a limited number of enrollments will be provided to students not affiliated with UIUC’s Community College Executive Leadership (CCEL) doctoral program. Persons interested in attending the course should phone the EOL Department at 333-2155 and speak to Ronda Rigdon or email her at rrigdon@uiuc.edu. Persons interested in more details about the course are also encouraged to notify Professor Debra Bragg at dbragg@uiuc.edu.
