ACE welcomes third class

Published: Thursday, August 10, 2006 10:07 PM CDT
Collin County Community College District will welcome the third Academy for Collegiate Excellence class this fall.


The nine-month ACE program was established in order to identify and cultivate leaders within the college.

ACE students come from the existing employees at Quad C as the college continues to search for its new crop of leaders.

"We feel better poised to handle the opportunities here at the college when we have openings," said vice president of student development Mary McRae.

Through the program, the faculty and staff are prepared for future leadership opportunities by learning how to develop performance and strategic goals, understand the aspects of board and president relations, learn multi-tasking, budget and cost center management, legal issues in higher education and much more.

"We looked at the community based leaderships programs and how they worked and what worked," McRae said.

Of the 16 members announced for the class nine are from Plano, including: Carie Andrews Dippel, student success coordinator; Francis Choy, instructional designer; Regina Hughes, center for scholarly and civic engagement director; Bryan Humphreys, solutions provider; Teri Karlseng, reference librarian; Raja Khoury, mathematics department chair and professor; Donna White, biology professor; Debra Wilkison, financial aid/veteran affairs director and Byrd Williams, photography department chair and professor.

Other members are: from Allen, Wayne Jones, engineering and emerging technologies associate dean; from Copeville, Marilyn Rice, developmental reading department chair and professor; from Dallas, Angela Putman, speech professor; from Krum, Doug Willis, associate dean of students; from McKinney, Christine De La Torre, management and marketing professor; from Rowlett, Jodi Collins, special admissions coordinator-advisor and from Royse City, Veronica Deaver, dental hygiene professor.
