Carter Doran Award



She has exceptional knowledge of all matters
academic and an unswerving commitment to doing
what is best for our students.
She is a teacher, a coach, a mentor, an advocate for all
things academic, a promoter of programs to provide
support for student success, a trusted leader, and a
superb human being.
She is not afraid to take on the big guns, to challenge
the norm, her only demand is fair and reasonable
participation.
She is one of the best leaders in our community
colleges.
Her experience, steady hand, and amazing ability to
maintain her sense of humor taught me a great deal
about leadership during times of crisis.
Carter Doran Award

She is a caring leader and it is evidenced in the loyalty that she
inspires in those who work for her.
She has left an indelible mark on the students she has taught, the
faculty colleagues with whom she has taught, the executives with
whom she has served, the administrative teams she has led, and
on our California community college system for which she has
been a tireless advocate.
She captured the hearts and minds of all with whom she worked
very simply by being herself - forthright, trustworthy, and bringing
resources to bear to create an environment in which all felt
respected and could do their best and most creative work.
Her strong leadership has helped colleges mired in campus-wide
turmoil, contributed to our success as an organization, and
resulted in the basic skills initiative.
