INDIANAPOLIS, April 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ El Paso Community College President William Serrata has joined Lumina Foundation s Board of Directors, which today concluded its spring meeting. Earlier this year, the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education honored Serrata for early career achievements.
Since joining the community college district as president in 2012, Serrata has increased student success and student retention. He also has boosted dual-credit enrollment and graduation rates at El Paso. Much of this success was realized through a focus on Hispanic and Latino students and students who are the first in their families to attend college.
EAU CLAIRE â The U.S. was on the cusp of the Great Recession when Bruce Barker became president of Chippewa Valley Technical College in 2008.
Retraining workers who had lost their old jobs occupied the first few years that heâd led the local two-year college.
âDuring the recession we had waiting lists for most of our programs,â Barker recalled. âWe had all we could handle for a few years.â
Enrollment hit a high-water mark in 2011, then declined for a few years before the college bucked the normal trend of lower student numbers during economic good times.
Marketing through social media, updating its selection of programs and other efforts helped the college grow its student body while peers saw their enrollments fall.
