Sharing pictures from a summer event! The #Vision2030 Noncredit Regional Workshop at Woodland Community College was an historic event for the California Community Colleges and co-host North Orange Continuing Education, the noncredit campus of the North Orange County Community College District.
Five people pose in front of a conference backdrop. From left to right: a woman in a white jacket and dress with long, dark hair, a man wearing glasses, a second woman in a dark dress, another woman in a light shell top and skirt and the fifth women in a light dress and long shawl-style jacket. Three women pose for pictures at the foot of the stairs. They are professionally dressed and smiling.

Proud to have represented North Orange Continuing Education at NCORE 2025. One conference theme was fostering #resistance. Pictured is a weekly sit-in at a campus where signs tell stories of impacted community members & a panel of hip hop scholars, practitioners & artists leveraging activism.

When I first set out to write Women in the Higher Education C-Suite, I wanted to better understand the trials, the triumphs, the highs, lows and everything in between about women who are thriving in higher education.
