Dr. Kim Hunter Reed (Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Higher Education) toured and talked higher education at our Glenwood Springs and Spring Valley campuses July 17. Dr. Reed is a former Louisiana higher education official, and most recently served in President Barack Obama’s administration as deputy undersecretary at the U.S. Department of Education, leading postsecondary diversity and inclusion work. Thank you Dr. Reed for taking the time to listen to our students/staff and brainstorming how we can help students overcome obstacles to have a successful transition into college!
