In this episode, Diverse host David Pluviose sits down with Dr. Larry D. Johnson Jr. as he completes his first year as president of Guttman Community College, which is also celebrating its 10th anniversary.
Tune in as Johnson speaks about reimagining what community college could be and his vision for continuing a research-based, innovative model focused on moving students efficiently toward graduation and supporting diverse students in a truly equitable way.
Don’t miss this conversation on the City University of New York's first new community college in more than 40 years and Johnson’s seat at the table as the voice for the voiceless. It is a true lesson in “flying the plane while building it.”
KEY POINTS:
QUOTABLES:
“We needed people at the table who would advocate for what I oftentimes will say ‘the least of these.’"
“I believe that community colleges are a place where we can certainly meet the moment and be able to show that we are viable and we are producing graduates that will really make a contribution and an economic impact in our communities.”

Such an amazing platform. So many milestones have been made and so many more to come.
Such a great approach on the different perspectives surrounding diversity and how it affects all communities! Enjoying each episode!
This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
I like that the episodes aren’t too long but are still very informative
