One of 12 community college presidents from across the country who will serve on the advisory council
Yavapai College President, Dr. Lisa B. Rhine, has been selected to serve on the inaugural Aspen Presidential Fellowship Alumni Advisory Council. Dr. Rhine will be one of 12 community college presidents from across the country who will serve on the advisory council. Dr. Rhine was a member of the inaugural class of the Aspen Presidential Fellows College Excellence Program in 2018.
The Aspen Institute’s College Excellence Program aims to advance higher education practices and leadership that significantly improve student learning, completion, and employment after college—especially for the growing population of students of color and low-income students on American campuses.
“The Aspen Presidential Fellowship helped me learn and grow into a professional candidate, and I am honored to serve on the inaugural alumni advisory council,” said Dr. Rhine. “Connecting other leaders from around the country through the Aspen Alumni Fellowship will only further improve student lives by leveraging the capacity of our colleges to improve learning, access, equity, and labor market outcomes.”
The Aspen Presidential Fellowship Alumni Advisory Council will:
Assist in the recruitment and selection of future classes of rising presidents and new president fellows.
Serve as a bench of experts and advisors for Aspen to receive feedback on ongoing activities with the alumni network, new curriculum development, and needs of the network.
Coordinate touchpoints with cohorts, including virtual and in-person networking events.
