Dr. Mary Ann M. DeMario Presents to National Leadership Circle from Ascend at the Aspen Institute

On January 21, Dr. Mary Ann M. DeMario (Institutional Research) presented at a convening of the National Postsecondary Leadership Circle for Parents.  The group, created by Ascend at the Aspen Institute, is composed of presidents and designated “student success leads” from 23 colleges across the nation.  In June, Mary Ann was invited to present to the Leadership Circle on how to collect data on Student-Parents.  In January, she was invited to present on how to collect data from Student-Parents on their experiences, needs, and wants.  The most recent presentation centered on the results of the Student-Parent Survey, which Mary Ann created and administered to all MCC Student-Parents in summer 2019. 

In 2018, Mary Ann was handpicked to play a key role in a related program, Aspen’s Postsecondary Success for Parents Initiative.  By participating in that initiative, she has contributed to the national Student-Parent movement; networked with other Student-Parent experts, advocates, and policymakers; dialogued with Student-Parents from other states; and brought information home to advance MCC’s Student-Parent endeavors.
