In this episode, your host David Pluviose sits down with Dr. Sandra L. Kurtinitis, president of the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC).
Tune in as they discuss CCBC’s unique approach to operating and succeeding in spite of COVID-19.

Listen in to the risk that paid off and how Dr. Sandra L. Kurtinitis's work in the community college sector went from job to passion to career to life’s mission.

QUOTABLES:
“We live our mission, and we love our mission.”
“If you walked on our campuses, you would see low-income and minority students. And to me, that is probably the greatest commitment that we made to our equity agenda because we were here for the people who would have been shut out of any opportunity of studying during that year.”

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
Such a great approach on the different perspectives surrounding diversity and how it affects all communities! Enjoying each episode!
