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 /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br />
