I have taught at two universities and <br />one community college. Most recently, I served on a volunteer committee for the Chapel Hill <br />Carrboro City Schools to review their vocational curriculum. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I am deeply committed to the success of our community college system. As a project <br />coordinator for a STEM project at Florida A&M, I counseled students who would not have been <br />able to afford college if they had not been able to complete their general education credits at the <br />community college. For many students, especially those in rural and under-funded urban high <br />schools, the community college helps build the study skills and academic independence needed <br />to be successful in a 4-year school. The community college also serves the needs of adult <br />learners who need basic academic and technical skills. This is a population that I believe is not <br />always well represented by academic administrators. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />8
