Leading Community

Their long ago reputation as, "schools for underachievers," was probably always unfair.

But for anyone who still sees community colleges that way today,  please allow us to challenge your thinking.

CC’s now turn out almost half of America’s college graduates.  They have re-tooled themselves into the workhorses of U.S. job creation.  And that’s just the beginning of what we will be covering with leaders from three Virginia campuses.

Guests:
Christopher Coutts, Ph.D. - Vice President of Academic & Student Affairs, Lord Fairfax Community College.

John A. Downey, Ph.D. - President, Blue Ridge Community College.

Frank Friedman, Ph.D. - President, Piedmont Virginia Community College.

Tom Graham was Senior Producer and host of WMRA's Virginia Insight from 2006 to 2015.
