Equity
We must continue to build and strengthen equitable pathways to graduation for all students, ensuring that every learner has the support and opportunities they need to succeed. Additionally, it's crucial that we prioritize the hiring of diverse staff to reflect the communities we serve and foster an inclusive, representative educational environment.
Enrollment
During a recent tour of COD, I observed the critical need to expand learning spaces as enrollment continues to fluctuate. It’s essential that we not only plan for this expansion but do so in a way that is fiscally responsible, ensuring we have the resources to support this growth. At the same time, we must prioritize hiring additional faculty to maintain high-quality instruction and meet the needs of our students as we evolve.
