Farewell to Jason Parker, Director of Learning Support Systems (LSS)
Please take a moment with me to extend a sincere thank you to Jason Parker
as he leaves MCC for another professional opportunity. During Jason's tenure,
we have successfully centralized tutoring across campus, enforcing equitable
hiring and salary practices and standardizing services across MCC's campuses,
received College Reading and Learning Association International Tutor Training
certification, implemented course-based learning assistance and Academic
Coaching programs, updated our TRiO Student Support Services program to meet
federal requirements, implemented TutorTrac (now TracCloud) to maintain data on
our learning assistance programs, rolled out live online tutoring in just a few
days during the pandemic, provided professional coaching for his staff, and
mentored countless students of color.
In the following months, Sara Revello, Coordinator for Course-Based Learning
Assistance, will assume interim Director duties. Sara has been involved in each
aspect of Learning Support Services, most actively in implementing Supplemental
Instruction in highly enrolled, low success rate courses, Perkins tutoring,
Academic Coaching, and tutor training. Sara is dedicated to maintaining our
high standards of service for our students, and I will also be available, as
needed.
Rambish, Medea
