The President of Lakeshore Technical College in Cleveland has been selected to join the inaugural class of the Aspen New Presidents Fellowship. Dr. Paul Carlsen, one of 25 Aspen Fellows, was chosen from more than 100-applicants.
The new initiative is designed to support community college presidents in the early years of their tenure to accelerate transformational change on behalf of students. Carlsen and the 24 other leaders will engage in a 7-month fellowship beginning in June.
Dr. Carlsen had this to say about his selection, “I am excited and honored to have been selected, but this is really a reflection of the great work the entire LTC team is doing to advance student success and close equity gaps. He continued, “every person at Lakeshore Technical College is mission-focused and committed to moving the needle. I am proud to work with them.”
The fellowship is fully funded by JPMorgan Chase & Co. and run by the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program.
