Successful SUNY Guided Pathways Institute hosted at MCC

Last week 110 faculty and staff from community colleges across the state returned to MCC for the fifth of six SUNY Guided Pathways Institutes.

During the institute, ten SUNY community college teams had time to work through their institutional plans and participate in sessions led by several dynamic speakers who discussed the institute's "Career and Transfer Pathways" theme. The team from Monroe Community College included the following:

  • Medea Rambish, Dean, Academic Foundations (Team Facilitator)
  • Christine Caslinuovo-Adams, Associate Vice President, Enrollment Management
  • Judy Dean, Associate Professor, Mathematics
  • Tracey Graney, Associate Professor, Biology
  • Gary Johnson, Director of Schools and Integrated Pathways
  • Rebecca Mack, Transfer Counselor
  • Michelle Mayo, Director, Career and Veteran Services
  • Dale Pearce, Director, Curriculum Development and Apprenticeships

Institute #5 showcased some of the expertise and innovation in career and transfer planning right here at MCC with keynote and concurrent session presentations from:

  • Todd Oldham, Vice President, Economic Development, Workforce and Career Technical Education
  • Dale Pearce, Director, Curriculum Development and Apprenticeships

As MCC is the lead college for this grant project, many members of the MCC community also worked to plan and facilitate institute #5 including:

  • Andrea Wade, Provost and Vice President & SUNY Guided Pathways Participating and Planning Team Member
  • Kimberley Collins, Associate Vice President & SUNY Guided Pathways Project Lead
  • Alex Campanis, Support Staff, Schools and Pathways
  • Renee Dimino, ESOL and TRS & SUNY Guided Pathways Project Director
  • Amanda Rampe, Technical Assistant to the Schools
  • Jessica Wilkie, English and Philosophy & SUNY Guided Pathways Coach and Faculty Liaison

My thanks to the many MCC individuals leading this SUNY effort and our own guided pathways effort, and to SUNY System Administration for their leadership and support.
