Carey Visits Edison State Community College
Chancellor John Carey of the Ohio Department of Higher Education
visited Edison State Community College on Monday, December 7. The visit
was made with Senior Vice Chancellor Gary Cates to meet with Edison
State President, Dr. Doreen Larson, tour campus, and discuss student
success and workforce development initiatives.
Following a guided tour of campus, an open forum luncheon was held with
those in attendance including local chamber leaders, area educational
leaders, industry leaders, Edison State’s Board of Trustees, and
officials of the college.
“I was pleased to learn more about everything that Edison is doing to
help students succeed and prepare them for a career,” said Chancellor
Carey. “I was particularly impressed with the career plan that students
follow throughout their time at Edison, which ensures they stay on
track to reach their goals.”
During lunch, Carey spoke about the Affordability and Efficiency Task
Force, and what community colleges are doing to help make education
more affordable.
Partnerships currently held between regional educators, employers, and
Edison State were also discussed at length, with an emphasis placed on
the educational pathways that have been developed to help fill the
skills gap and boost the regional economy.
“President Larson is doing a great job, and I look forward to our next
visit,” added Carey.
