A powerful voice has been added to an influential group attempting to find the best ways to increase the number of post sec-ondary college degrees earned in theU.S.

Wayne County Community College District Chancellor Dr. Curtis Ivery has been named to the 21st Century Commission on the Future of CommunityColleges. The commission, supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Kresge Foundation, aims to safeguard the fundamental mission of American community colleges while ensuring that diverse and often underserved students attain a high-quality edu-cation, according to the mission statement.

The final report of the commis-sion promises to shape the efforts

of nearly 1,200 colleges serving more than 6 million students, or nearly half of all undergraduates nationwide.

"I'm honored to participate on a commission that will play a critical role in shaping our front-line edu-cation institutions," Ivery said. "We are tasked with not only providing our nation with the innovative, highly-skilled workforce that we will need to thrive in the new cen-tury, but to accelerate what we have done in the past - provide all who come through our doors with the knowledge and passion they need to influence change in their communities and lives.

"I'm particularly proud to bring the many voices and insights gleaned from those in our region to the esteemed group," he said. "Detroit and its surrounding com-

munities are known for their inge-nuity, courage and relentless focus on innovation. These are precisely the characteristics that will fuel our nation's success as we move forward.

"We, as a region, have much to contribute to the commission," he said.

Community colleges are the front-line education providers and vital bridges to other postsec-ondary institutions. To maintain global competitiveness, ensure equity and preserve the vitality of the nation, community colleges and their partners in education, policy, business and philanthropic arenas have been leading the charge to ensure that current and future gen-erations are prepared to thrive in knowledge-based and other emerg-ing industries, Ivery noted.

Wayne County Community College District is the largest urban community college in Michigan, serving 32 cities and townships and spanning more than 500 square miles. Under Ivery's leadership, the district has grown from about 7,000 students to more than 71,000, and been recognized for its leadership in innovative programs and com-munity transparency.

The ultimate goals of the com-mission will be to develop and exe-cute ways to dramatically increase the number of citizens with post-secondary degrees - including his-torically underrepresented groups - and also to provide a vision for what community colleges of the future must look like and accom-plish if they are to achieve that goal.

The final report is also expected

to provide key ways that the institu-tions can achieve equity in out-comes across diverse student groups, and demonstrate public accountability for improving insti-tutional performance and student success.

"We are looking for quantum leaps in improvement in our work," Ivery said, "not to maintain the sta-tus quo.

"I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and getting to work," he said.

The commission will issue its final report during the opening ses-sion of the 2012 American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) national convention in Orlando. Ivery is an active AACC board director and currently chairs the Commission on Economic and WorkforceDevelopment.

(He's trying to figure out whether I am drunk, old or on drugs. He's right on two out of three. If he has a gun, I may shoot myself. But no, you can't see it. Are there any doughnuts left? If we have doughnuts, maybe he'll tell us theway to the ice arena.) Can a dogwalk on three legs?

headache, sweetie. You can't have these, but you can have a gummy vitamin, OK?)

I think the cat ate all the gummy vitamins instead of the dog medi-cine. When are Mom and Dad com-ing home? Can you stay longer because it's funwhen you'rehere? (They'll be backway too soon, and I'll stay as long as they letme.) We love you, Grandma.

(I, sniffle, love you, sob, too, snif-fle. Did the dog eat all theKleenex?)

mote a feeling of camaraderie, of fellowship, that nurtures and pro-motes the growth and progress of a community.

Residents need to see their neighbors as real people. Theyneed to see community leaders, elected officials, city employees, police and

fire staff members out at events like this, whether in an official capacity, or simply enjoying the entertain-ment. They can put a face with names they only hear or see in the media and begin to identify with their community.

We commend the City of Inkster, the Downtown Development Authority, the Summerfest Committee members, the hard-working volunteers and the spon-sorson thesuccessof thisevent.
