“With so many community college presidents taking or nearing retirement, Aspen has a heightened sense of urgency to develop new leaders who are committed to systemic change,” said Josh Wyner, executive director of the College Excellence Program. “社区 colleges have a unique opportunity to advance the talent communities need and enable the economic mobility that draws so many students to higher 教育. 我很自信 that these fellows can realize that promise—and in turn advance the entire field—by taking the lessons from the highest performing colleges and preparing to bring those 给他们第一任总统的教训.” 

“pg电子官网状态 is proud to have 苏珊娜哈尔滨 represent the college in the Aspen 新晋会长奖学金,” said pg电子官网状态 President Dr. 维姬Karolewics. “She has proven to be a strong leader in her years heading the pg电子官网状态 Future Foundation and as Vice President for Advancement and Innovation, so we know she will do well in this endeavor and use what she learns to help the college as it grows in 未来.”

Rising Presidents Fellows join a network of over 350 forward-thinking peers—175 of whom are sitting college presidents—who are applying concrete, grounded, and innovative strategies to meet student success challenges in their colleges.

The 阿斯彭新会长奖学金 is made possible by the generous support of 安德鲁·W. Mellon Foundation, the Burton Family Foundation, the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation, the College Futures Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, 和摩根大通.
