Just back from Orlando, Florida where, unfortunately, I didn't get to meet Mickey Mouse and, in fact, didn't even make it across the street to visit his home, Disney World!! Instead, I was functionally confined to the hotel where the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) was convening its 92nd Annual Conference. (Yes, I know...... poor planning on my part!)
The Conference theme was "21st Century Vision: Igniting Innovation" and, to "ignite" that vision, AACC used the Conference as a platform from which to release it's landmark "21st Century Report" entitled "Reclaiming the American Dream." In it are an ambitious set of recommendations for how our community colleges can - and need to - play a leading role in this "reclamation" work, and I invite you to read it (or, at least read the Executive Summary - the first 13 pages). You can see a copy of the Report at

Bottom line - - we certainly have our work cut out for us but, as you read the Report, you will see that we at LBCC are already well on our way!
