Vice President Lloyd A. Holmes, Ph.D. Chosen for National Presidential Fellowship

Please join me in congratulating MCC Vice President Lloyd A. Holmes, Ph.D. for being selected to participate in the 2020-21 Aspen Rising Presidents Fellowship. As part of the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program, the fellowship is a highly selective leadership program that prepares the next generation of community college presidents to transform institutions to achieve higher and more equitable levels of student success.

The Rising Presidents Fellows will embark on a 10-month fellowship beginning in July 2020. Delivered in collaboration with the Stanford Educational Leadership Initiative, the fellows will be mentored by esteemed current and former community college presidents who have achieved exceptional outcomes for students throughout their careers, and will learn strategies to improve student outcomes in and after college, lead internal change, and create strong external partnerships with K-12 schools, four-year colleges, employers, and other partners.

A champion of student success, Dr. Holmes has led MCC's efforts to increase access to higher education and support the holistic needs of community college students. Please join me in congratulating him on this significant achievement.
