Student Success Conference 2009
Keynote Speaker
Dr. McClenney is the Director of the Community College Survey of Student Engagement and the Sid W. Richardson Endowed Fellow of the Community College Leadership Program at The University of Texas at Austin.
Last Spring, a consortium of Oregon's Community Colleges administered the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE). Dr. McClenney will share information about how community college students nationwide are engaged in learning and will share results from the Oregon data.
Dr. McClenney will also address the importance of developing career pathways that create seamless transitions for students from high schools to community colleges to jobs and to further education and why it really matters.
