Silver Anniversary Distinguished Speaker Series with Jack Scott

In the Lundring Events Center at California Lutheran University, Jack Scott, chancellor of California Community Colleges, examines high-impact education practices in California’s P-20 pipeline, also referred to as cradle-to-college. Since assuming his role as chancellor of the nation’s largest system of higher education in January 2009, Scott has worked with legislators on a historic law to simplify the transfer pathway for community college students to state universities. He also created a Student Success Task Force of academic, research and business leaders that is developing a strategic blueprint to increase student retention and degree completion rates.

As a California state senator and assemblyman, Scott authored 146 bills that were signed into law, including landmark measures that increased community college financing, eased the nursing shortage and strengthened career technical education. He holds a Master of Divinity from Yale University and a Ph.D. in American history from Claremont Graduate University.

Admission is free. Sponsored by the Graduate School of Education’s Higher Education Doctoral Program, ELS Language Centers and the “Pacific Coast Business Times.” RSVP by Oct. 7 to Lauren Amundson at lamundso@callutheran.edu or 805-493-3445.
