President
I lead the students and faculty as president of a community college.
Working in college administration means that no two days are the same. As president of the college, it's my responsibility to make sure our faculty and curriculum are setting students up to go into the world, adapt to the changes in technology, and make an impact.
Here's the first step for college students
Take advantage of the more mature mentors you have access to, especially in a college environment. They have a lot of experience and are usually very willing to give advice and help you succeed.
"You need to focus on one discipline."
