WP’s KATHLEEN WALDRON Cultivating a Legacy of Diversity Written by Michelle Adam

hen Dr. Kathleen Waldron was a finalist in the selection process for president of William Paterson University five years ago, she did something unusual. Before her interview, she walked over to the student commons of this Wayne, New Jersey school and remained there for several hours observing student interactions. She was pleasantly surprised. “I wanted to see what the dynamic among students was at this diverse public institution,” Waldron said. She had been to other universities where students remained in their subgroups despite being a part of a multiethnic university but saw the opposite behavior at William Paterson. “I knew that they and the school embraced diversity. Students intermingled and interacted with each other in a way that I appreciated. I believe this is part of what makes public universities rich.” A Strong Focus on Latinos Today, as president of William Paterson University (WP), an 11,500-student school, Waldron can be proud of having supported this legacy of diversity and for being at 6 • October 26, 2015

the helm of a school that now has officially become a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). “We were excited about this designation. We can now apply for federal grants we weren’t able to apply for before. Most universities don’t have this kind of mix,” she said. “We have an additional responsibility as an HSI. When we knew that 25 percent of our campus would be Latino, we made sure we had counselors who could communicate to students and parents about financial aid and other matters. We also started translating letters to parents and financial aid information into both languages.” A Perfect Fit Given her background and connection to Latino culture and history, Waldron seems a perfect fit for a HSI university. She obtained her Ph.D. in Latin American History at Indiana University in 1977. During her graduate studies, she traveled extensively to Venezuela for her dissertation research and spent up to five years there in addition to her time in Mexico and Colombia. Although Waldron began her career in education as an assistant pro-

fessor at Bowdoin College in Maine, she started pursuing a career in banking in 1981. At Chemical Bank, she worked on Argentinean portfolios. At Citibank, she served as president of Citibank International Florida, where she headed the Latin American Private Banking division until 1998. “I worked with diverse colleagues at Citibank and was traveling a lot to Latin America. I also lived in Miami where everyone was Latino,” she said. “My language ability helped me be accepted, and I also knew the history of my client’s countries.” When Waldron returned to academia in 1998 as dean of the School of Business, Public Administration and Information Science at Long Island University, she brought with her three important sets of skills: strong management abilities, financial know-how and the capacity to work with diverse groups of people, especially Latinos. In 2004, she carried this expertise with her as president of Baruch College, a City University of New York (CUNY) school that was named the most ethnically-diverse campus in the nation by U.S. News and World Report and the Princeton Review.

Waldron was also able to utilize her unique background at William Paterson University when she became president in 2010. Within her first year, she established the Tinker Foundation Lecture Series on Latin American History. She invited community members and leaders of different ethnic groups as well as students and faculty, to talks on current events in Latin America. That year, she also brought the then-president of La República Domenicana, Leonel Fernandez, to campus where 900 students, faculty and community members filled the auditorium. “Faculty really took notice, and the community that came looked at the university differently after that,” Waldron said. “It underscored that the Latino community would be im-

portant at the university because it was a skill set I as president had and was going to use.” Improving Education for All Being able to meet the needs of Latinos and a host of diverse students on campus was part of Waldron’s vision when she became president five years ago. Given that many students juggle jobs and family responsibilities while attending school and had low retention and graduation rates, she had her work cut out for her. Now, the school has 25.1 percent Latinos, 13.4 percent African Americans and 6.6 percent Asians. Waldron started by increasing part-time jobs on campus, so commuting to work didn’t take away from schoolwork. She created a free

summer basic skills program that would prepare those students who would otherwise normally pay for remedial courses in their freshman year. Waldron also increased academic support, amplifying activities at tutoring centers and revising the first-year student experience. In addition, she created more robust career planning, maintained annual tuition hikes below two percent (much lower than most schools) and improved an Early Alert System that lets WP’s diverse and first-rate faculty know when students need help. Realizing that students who graduate in four years financially 8 • October 26, 2015

save on their education, Waldron also began offering a $1,000 scholarship to anyone who finished their freshman year with 30 credits and a GPA of 3.0 or more. This continued for their subsequent years. “This was a big experiment, and we think it’s working,” she said. (Latinos, for example, increased graduation rates in four years by 12.6 percent for the 2007 cohort). aldron has been intent on increasing full-time faculty and money for scholarships while further narrowing the gap in graduation and retention rates between minority and Caucasian students. She will also pursue

grants under the school’s new HSI status. Whether her goals are intended for Latinos or not, though, Latinos, as the largest minority group on campus, are likely to benefit. “I think we will continue to see Latinos coming to our university. Many of them come from community colleges and see us as a friendly and welcoming place,” Waldron said. She also recently added a Latina, Lourdes Cortez, president and CEO of North Jersey Federal Credit Union, to her board of trustees. “We keep an eye on students and help them succeed.” •

Julio Frenk Begins Tenure as

FIRST HISPANIC PRESIDENT OF UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI

“Diversity is an antidote to inequality.”

he University of Miami has a new leader, which also happens to be the university’s first Hispanic president. Dr. Julio Frenk, previously the Dean of Faculty at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Mexico's former Minister of Health, succeeded Donna E. Shalala who had led the University of Miami since 2001 and served under former President Bill Clinton as the longest-serving U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services. Frenk is married to Canadian-born Felicia Knaul, Ph.D., an associate professor at Harvard Medical School and the director of Harvard Global Equity Initiative. A global advocate for cancer control, she will also join the university’s family in the fall as a member of the faculty. She chairs the Lancet Commission on Global Access to Pain Control and Palliative Care and currently leads a major project for the Harvard School of Public Health on breast cancer education and awareness in China.

12 • October 26, 2015

"Dr. Frenk has been called 'a visionary, an insightful analyst, an institutional innovator and a pragmatic problem solver,’ and speaking for the entire board, we could not agree more,” Stuart A. Miller, Chair of the UM Board and Chief Executive Officer of The Lennar Corporation, said. “The entire University of Miami community looks forward to welcoming him; his wife, Harvard health economist Dr. Felicia Knaul, and his children to Miami as we jointly embark on the next great chapter at the University." "President Frenk is an eminent authority on global health and is admired worldwide for his scholarship and leadership both within and outside academia. He is proven to be an agent for change as attested by his many accomplishments. He is exceptionally and uniquely suited to build upon the successes that the University has achieved during President Shalala's tenure," Presidential Search Committee Chair Richard Fain who is also Vice Chair of the

UM Board and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Royal Caribbean Cruises said. During his six-year tenure as the Harvard School of Public Health's Dean of Faculty, Frenk quadrupled fundraising for the school from $26 million in 2010 to $103 million in 2014 and steered a transformative $350 million naming gift for the Harvard School of Public Health – the largest single gift in Harvard's 378-year history. As Dean, Frenk reconceptualized the mission of the school; managed an annual budget of $335 million from an initial deficit to near balance; diversified a large portfolio of approximately $230 million of annual sponsored research; launched a comprehensive educational reform effort; actively participated in the early adoption of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and the development of "flipped classrooms;" increased the admissions yield while maintaining a selective admissions rate thereby increasing tuition in-

come and participated in the planning, design and implementation of a university-wide capital campaign launched in the fall of 2013. s Mexico's Minister of Health from 2000 to 2006, Frenk pursued an ambitious agenda to reform the nation's health system and introduced comprehensive universal health insurance known as Seguro Popular, which expanded access to health care for tens of millions of uninsured Mexicans. "Julio Frenk is a gifted and dedicated leader. His capacity to build consensus and strengthen institutions were evident during his service as Minister of Health of Mexico. I am certain that he will further transform the University of Miami as a leading educational force for the Americas and for the world," former President of Mexico Vicente Fox said.

"I greatly appreciate the value of Miami's privileged geographic location as the gateway connecting Latin America and the Caribbean with the United States,â&#x20AC;? Frenk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While I pride myself on being a global citizen, Latin America is my region of origin, and I welcome the opportunity to continue building lasting academic bridges across our Hemisphere." Frenk who is the son of German and Spanish immigrants to Mexico is the first Hispanic president of the University of Miami and comes to Miami by way of Mexico, Michigan and then Boston. He earned his medical degree from the National Autonomous University of Mexico as well as a Master of Public Health, a Master of Arts in Sociology and a joint Ph.D. in Medical Care Organization and Sociology from the Uni-

versity of Michigan, Ann Arbor. "I feel honored and humbled by the extraordinary opportunity to lead this great university in one of the most important cities in the world. I have been greatly impressed by the strategic vision that has driven President Donna Shalala and the upward momentum she has created during her outstanding presidency," Frenk said. "I have known Dr. Frenk for more than two decades," President Shalala said. "He is an extraordinary, highly respected leader in global public health. I warmly welcome him and his family to the university and our community. "The University of Miami is a very special place, and I hope to build on the many accomplishments of my esteemed predecessor. I am fully committed to our common

purpose to transform lives through education, research and service," Frenk said. renk shared his vision for the school during an interview with UM’s Robert C. Jones (UM News & Events). Noting that UM will be celebrating its centennial in 10 years, Frenk wants to prepare for that milestone now. “We have now the chance of preparing the University of Miami for its second century, to really use the proximity of the centennial ten years from now to envision what we would like the University to look like in its second century,” Frenk said. “Of course, there are great institutions that have been around for much longer. I find that as an opportunity to learn and also to leapfrog.” This vision comes from his belief that “diversity is an antidote to inequality.” And it’s also a vision that he expressed in these words the day he took office as UM’s president:

“I feel honored to serve as the sixth president of this great institution. Since being named by the Board of Trustees last April, I have spent time immersing myself in the University’s history. I have been impressed by the pivotal role it has played in the growth and prosperity of this city, this region and beyond. Equally impressive are the contributions that our faculty, staff, students, alumni and donors have made to advancing research, scholarship and mutual understanding around the globe. As the University launches into its tenth decade, I believe this is a perfect opportunity to look back at where we have been, to make a close assessment of where we are today and to use these vantage points to define a roadmap toward our second century. The University of Miami’s story—past, present and future—is a collective narrative told by the thousands of individuals who have developed the education, research, service and spirit of community that are our hallmark. As part of my

first 100 days in office, I am initiating an intensive listening project, and I invite you to share with me your aspirations and hopes for the U. My first Town Hall meeting on September 10 will offer an opportunity to hear from you and to learn about the many ways in which we can build on our rich legacy to take the University of Miami to its second century. At that meeting, we will define a structured process to collect, collate and synthesize the suggestions from all members of our community.” HO will be checking back with Dr. Frenk in 100 days to find out more about the direction he is taking UM and what progress he is making. Stay tuned! • Article, photos and video courtesy of the University of Miami

LATINO LEADERSHIP FELLOWS Filling in the Gap to Presidential Pipelines at Community Colleges Written by Sylvia Mendoza

he educational pipeline often refers to the outreach K-12 schools perform to better prepare Latino students to transition into college. Once through that pipeline, however, what awaits them on the college side is a limited number of Latinos/as in administrative positions who might better understand their needs. The disconnect is that community colleges are in need of Latino presidents. In a 2014 report from Excelencia in Education, there were

Dr. Ted Martinez

370 colleges which were Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs). Of these, almost half were community colleges. “We need a pipeline of leadership,” Angela Salazar, a former trustee for Rio Hondo Community College in Whittier, Calif. and former director of leadership development for women for HOPE—Hispanas Organized for Political Equality, said. Her role with HOPE informed the need she saw for representation. “In the time I was a trustee, Latinas were in the mix of being qualified, but they did not have the experience. If no one hires them, how do they get the experience? They have to learn a way to get into the pipeline.” The Leadership Fellows Program at the University of San Diego (USD) provides that way. Developed in 2002 to address the lack of Latina/o leaders in American community colleges, the program is designed for mid-level community college administrators whose career interests focus on becoming executive leaders—presidents, deans, provosts, chancellors—in two-year institutions. It is part of the Nation-

al Community College Hispanic Council (NCCHC), an organization with a mission to develop a pool of highly qualified Latino leaders and assist them in attaining high-level positions in community colleges throughout the country. “It’s hard to break into the ranks,” Dr. Ted Martinez, Executive Director of the NHCCC’s Leadership Fellows Program and adjunct professor at USD, said. “When we do have an opportunity to promote Latinos, we are often blocked by a white faculty or board. We have Latino leaders, but we have to get them into these positions. This program increases their chances.” The Program An NCCHC advisory board assesses hundreds of applications from across the nation, from a variety of administrative and faculty positions for the Fellows program. “The applicants from the student services side need to know the academics side—and academics need to know the student services side,” Martinez who is also former Superintendent and President of Rio Hondo Community College explained. www.HispanicOutlook.com • 15

his balanced outlook gives Fellows an opportunity to better understand the needs and problems facing the business side of the puzzle as well as become educated about the student body, the campus and the politics. Only 20 Fellows are selected. They commit to the program, which offers professional development training for a year (from June to June). They meet in person at two training sessions a year—at USD and at the Leadership Symposium held in conjunction with the NCCHC’s conferences. They learn the competencies associated with specific positions. All their training is learning outcome-based, Martinez said. They work on group projects, are logged into a mentorship program with current presidents and deans and are offered networking opportunities.

The mentorship program is vitally important, providing access to presidents as realistic sounding boards. Fellows can talk about resumes, interview dos and don’ts and how to navigate the system. “We encourage them to meet face to face at the symposiums,” Martinez said. “That’s what makes the difference—for them to see a Latino in a position they’ve only dreamed about. They can identify with them—current, seasoned administrators with experience.” The program’s commitment to deliver a high quality leadership development experience has been successful to date. “We are proud that more than 20 of the 72 original Fellows are now or have been community college presidents, and many others have moved to positions of increased responsibility as upper-level administrators.”

The Wider Perspective of Presenters A variety of presenters at training sessions brings a unique perspective in leadership qualities and best practices. While she was a trustee at Rio Hondo, Salazar (who is also an adjunct professor in Chicano Studies at Cal State Fullerton and the Los Angeles Community College district) learned about the gaps in Latino leadership. Her presentation to the Fellows revolved around data from her dissertation. What she learned was to aggregate data—to study the student body and sub-groups like women, men, returning students, Latinos, foster care kids, those with families—and ask questions. What were there needs? Were there commonalities? She found that 80% of Latino students start at a community college.

t the same time, there was a lack of people of color in hiring pools who could address the needs of these populations. Only a small number of Latinas were in decision-making positions, like the five in trusteeships in California. What were their challenges? What strategies did they use to overcome and transform their institutions of which they were a part? How could they rise in the ranks? Salazar feels it important that Fellows know the lay of the land. Armed with data, Fellows can practice leadership styles, address their student population needs, assist with new programs and learn best practices of success models. “That’s why the Fellows program is so critical,” Salazar said. “They are already qualified and competent, but then they become better-prepared candidates. We can accelerate Latino leaders.”

Walking The Walk Martinez received the NCCHC Outstanding Latino CEO Leadership Award during the 19th Annual Leadership Symposium in Scottsdale last year. He has been a vibrant example of success for Fellows—but he sees them as the future of better education models. The goal is to double the number of fellows in the program annually from 20 to 40. More funding is needed to keep that momentum going. There are now 225 NCCHC Leadership Fellows alumni most of whom serve in executive leadership capacities in community college administrations across the nation. He urges alumni to get involved on their campuses. “If there’s an empty slot for volunteers on the academic senate, take it. If there’s a slot for president of the academic senate, volunteer.”

Continued outreach will be to like-minded organizations like AAHHE—American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education -which is also developing the leadership pipeline. Building a nationwide network that can serve as a model program for diversity and professional training is the start of an effective and powerful pipeline to fill the leadership gaps in community colleges with visionary, qualified Latinos. “We want all these pools to be filled by Latinos,” Salazar said. “They can be part of something greater.” • Photos Courtesy of NCCHC’s Leadership Fellows Program For more information on NCCHC and the Leadership Fellows Program, visit www.ncchc.com

JOSE FIERROâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Plans for Cerritos College as its New President Written by Gary M. Stern

n his first stint as president, Jose Fierro will be leading Cerritos College, a community college located in Norwalk, California near Long Beach, California. Fierro was named president this year. Previously Fierro served as chief academic officer at Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, Wyoming and was academic dean at Florida State University. Hence, he knows what issues community college students face and is tuned into what Latino undergraduates encounter in pursuit of higher education. In spring 2015, 23,652 students attended Cerritos College. Of that number, 67 percent were Hispanic, eight percent Caucasian, seven percent Asian-American and four percent African American. Of Cerritosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; students, 67 percent obtain financial aid with an average grant of $852. Most Cerritos students major in liberal arts and science and pursue careers in social and behavioral sciences and business administration. The top certificate programs include culinary arts, cosmetology, child development and early childhood. Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Fierro was raised in Bogota, Colombia where his father was a researcher for the Department of Agriculture. Fierro emigrated to the U.S. at age 24 where he learned English. He has a doctorate in Higher Education Leadership from Northcentral University in Prescott, Ariz. 18 â&#x20AC;˘ October 26, 2015

Here’s what Jose Fierro said about embarking on the presidency of Cerritos College: HO: This is your first stint as president of a community college. Ready for the challenge? Jose Fierro: I’m ready for the challenge. My previous jobs have prepared me quite well to take on the presidency. I have experience in large community colleges as an instructor of Biological Sciences at Valencia College in Florida and at Florida State College. I moved to Laramie County College in Cheyenne to a smaller campus, which was great. There I learned to interact with many people in a small setting. What you do often rests on relationship-building. HO: Describe the skills you learned as chief academic officer at Laramie C.C. Jose Fierro: Academic affairs is usually the largest area on a campus. You have to work a lot with outside constituents and internal constituents, be very aware of the impact of faculty on student learning and work with different school organizations. I had to become very aware of curriculum changes, economic development, economic partnerships and strategic planning, which are essential in the president’s role. HO: Describe the typical Cerritos student. Jose Fierro: Cerritos students are extremely engaged. When I first came to be interviewed, I took time to walk around campus. For a commuter campus in the middle of a large city, students were as engaged as I have seen on campus. They’re engaged in student life, student government and campus initiatives. For example, they started a number of initiatives on sustainability. They love the institution and take pride on being part of Cerritos.

HO: To what do you attribute to the extreme engagement not common on most community college campuses? Jose Fierro: It stems from the diverse students we serve. We are a minorityserving institution, so students connect by way of family. They feel safe here, feel that this is their college and their place to be. That helps to drive student engagement. In addition, the college has made significant efforts to provide student services to ensure that they feel comfortable here. HO: Why call your student body diverse if 67 percent are Latino? Jose Fierro: When I say diversity, it’s not just about racial components. I see it as a diversity of ideas, diversity of thinking and diversity of socioeconomic backgrounds. Even with Hispanic students, you find a diversity of groups though many of our students are Mexican-Americans.

“When I say diversity, it’s not just about racial components. I see it as a diversity of ideas, diversity of thinking and diversity of socioeconomic backgrounds. Even with Hispanic students, you find a diversity of groups...” President Fierro, Cerritos College

HO: How specifically can you help community college students succeed? Jose Fierro: I think it’s essential to harvest the culture of academic excellence and student-centered culture. What Cerritos traditionally has done is to build a culture in which we think of the students first. We’re considering introducing a completion program where we help students identify missing classes and make sure these classes are accessible. We may choose to do shorter sessions like eight-week courses. We’ll also strengthen online programs. It must be an effort where student services offer tutoring, academic advising and counseling. HO: What specific issues do Latino students face? Jose Fierro: If you’re from the lower economic strata, your level of attainment is lower than people from higher economic ranks. According to the National Education Association only 52 percent of Hispanics that are 25 years or older have higher education degrees beyond high school degrees compared to 85 percent of Whites. If you go to baccalaureate degrees, only 10 percent of Latinos receive four-year degrees compared to 27 percent of Whites. 20 • October 26, 2015

HO: Most newly named presidents have one or two key initiatives that they’d like to accomplish. Name your priorities. Jose Fierro: The first one is community engagement. My second initiative would be to establish a culture of excellence and a culture of studentcentered initiatives. HO: How specifically can you help community college students with financial aid? Jose Fierro: The first one involves education plans to make sure students don’t ask for more money than they need. To help them compensate for their expenses, I’m planning to engage with Cerritos College Foundation to increase scholarship partnering programs. HO: How can you increase the 30 percent of Cerritos’ students that transfer to four-year colleges? Jose Fierro: We want to continue to work with our transfer university partners. California has a good system of transferring. In fact, California created an associate degree for transfer that guarantees your admission in the California State University system when you complete 60 transferrable units

(including a minimum of 18 units in a major) HO: In your first year as president, what can Cerritos students and faculty expect? Jose Fierro: I see my first year as a time for me to build connections with all the groups at the institution, learn the culture, identify what the institution does well, identify ways to improve, build connections with business partners and donors and transfer institutions and community leaders to develop a joint vision to move into the future. HO: Bottom-line, what do you hope to accomplish as president of Cerritos College? Jose Fierro: There is an award called the Aspen Award that ranks community colleges based on their performance. I’d like Cerritos to win it based on student performance, student achievement and services provided to students, how many students successfully transfer, awarding of certificates, professional development for faculty and staff and the quality of education. It’s not about the award but what the standards of the award means for our students. •

OWN IT Written by Marvin F. Lozano, Ed.D. & Miquela Rivera, Ph.D

“Energy and persistence conquer all things.” – Benjamin Franklin What is the key to success? In their book on lessons from entrepreneurship, Taulbert & Schoeniger (Who Owns the Ice House?, 2010) assert that persistence – the refusal to quit – is the most powerful secret of success. In their view, the essence of entrepreneurship is problem solving, so failure is but another opportunity to solve a problem. In any endeavor – in business, academia, sports, the arts or parenthood – persistence is key to achieving success. How can we increase the chances that Hispanic students in higher education will persist in completing a course of study? Start with a clear vision, purpose and desire. If receiving a degree is the goal, it must be the student’s primary focus and commitment. In Completing College, Rethinking Institutional Action, (2012), Vincent Tinto refers to persistence and completion as “the rate at which students who begin higher education…and eventually complete their degree, regardless of where they do so.” Institutional prestige alone is no guarantee that Latino students will complete a degree program; persistence and genuine desire – ganas – are the greatest assurance. Latino students sometimes do not know where to begin their quest for higher education and seldom realize the wealth of resources and options available to them. In many cases the students do not consider that opportunities and resources are meant for them. Student services in high schools, community colleges and universities are wise to provide encouragement and access to a wide variety – and sometimes less conventional – options for Latinos who must find money and time for college.

A plan of action sets the path for a Latino student to move from a college education being a nice idea to becoming a personal reality. High school counselors, college advisors, parents and mentors can help a student develop a plan of action with steps to take, timelines to set the pace and accountability to get and keep the ball rolling. And remember to teach students to anticipate and prepare for the unexpected. Learning to develop alternative plans is part of persistence – preempting problems so that they do not linger as obstacles or derail progress. Plan B and Plan C should always be on the shelf, ready to use if necessary. Alternative planning helps the student stay on track when there is a danger of veering off. Encouraging the Hispanic student to shut out negative or discouraging influences is important. Latinos who are the first generation to pursue higher education or are doing something different than others in the family often face a chorus of naysayers and reminders of why they can’t or shouldn’t do what they want to do. Families may have unwritten rules about leaving home base, making independent decisions, going outside the circle of relatives or even being happier than everyone else. For the Latino who is battling opposition from family and friends, pursuing higher education might not seem worth it. In that case, circle back to step one: vision and desire. Ganas trumps negativity or fear of familial rejection. Help the Latino student in higher education build an academic-based family to support and encourage the student to follow the plan and remain accountable when things become difficult, to celebrate when they go well and to respectfully question their choices.

Introduce students of like mind or like circumstances to one another; buddy those who have succeeded with those going through the process. The respectful questioning of the struggling student does not spring from doubt but instead serves to encourage introspection and persistence. If the student faces a problem or struggles with discouragement, help them to look inward to figure out solutions for it is most likely a temporary problem getting in the way of a permanent, valued goal. Challenge Latino college students who are tempted to quit to instead examine how they are setting themselves up for failure. Procrastination, not following directions or complying with policy, doing work haphazardly, turning assignments in late or selecting “easy” classes to slide through are common strategies for self-sabotage. Using an entrepreneurial mindset, a student who is teetering on the brink of quitting needs to shift gears and find a way to keep going. Since quitting is not an option, there must be ways to get through. No excuses; only problems to be resolved. •
