Sixteen leadership teams from community colleges throughout the state convened for presentations and discussions focused on college equity, access and completion at the inaugural Dale Tillery Institute for Community College Leadership and Innovation, August 1–4 at UC Berkeley’s Clark Kerr Center. Each team then created an action plan to be implemented at their college during this academic year. A $5,000 award will be being given to the college with the most successful equity plan.
Named in memory of former GSE Dean Dale Tillery, a revered professor and an author of the community college section of the California Master Plan for Higher Education, the Institute aims to continue Tillery’s legacy by developing leadership for the community colleges. Professor Norton Grubb serves as faculty coordinator of the Institute. Guest speakers included California Community Colleges Chancellor Mark Drummond, Syracuse University Professor Vincent Tinto, California Tomorrow Executive Director Laurie Olsen and other nationally recognized scholars and college leaders.
Plans for next summer's Institute are underway. To participate or make a donation to the Tillery Institute Scholarship Fund, e-mail Tillery Institute Coordinator Holly Cordova.
