2024 MCC Leadership Program Participants

We are pleased to announce the participants of the 2024 Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) and the President's Emerging Leaders Fellowship (PELF) programs. MCC has a strategic commitment to talent management practices that include developing, recognizing, and empowering our employees.

As the complexity of our colleges--and the challenges we face--increase, MCC will continue to enhance the capacity of our internal leaders to address these issues, design innovative solutions, and see opportunities on the horizon. The LEAD and PELF programs are designed to meet these goals.

The LEAD program offers participants leadership education that is both practical and forward looking. Members will gain a greater understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing community colleges; the skills needed to achieve a changing environment; a more comprehensive portrait of MCC; and their leadership within the College and clarity about their own future goals.

The next cohort includes:

  • Marisol Galarza Ruiz – Professor, World Languages and Cultures
  • Glenda Hunter – Career Advisor, Economic Development, Workforce and CTE
  • Alice Wilson – Assistant Director, Library

The PELF program is modeled on the American Council of Education's long-running and highly successful ACE Fellows program. This programs offers participants who have the desire and capacity to enhance their leadership skills by the opportunity to engage in an immersive learning experience.

The next cohort includes:

  • Elizabeth Frizzell – Program Director, Liberty Partnership Programs
  • Hanan Gahi – Director, TRIO Student Support Services
  • Sara Revello – Interim Director, Learning Support Systems
  • Stephen Wise – Director, Public Safety

Please join us in welcoming and congratulating the 2024 participants in the LEAD and PELF programs. For questions regarding these leadership programs, please visit the leadership website or email Dr. Calvin Gantt (cgantt@monroecc.edu) or Kim DeLardge (kdelardge@monroecc.edu).
