As I mentioned before, one thing we can all count on is CHANGE. One of the many changes in the near future for CCBO is a change in the Executive Director position. Dr. Bob Hassmiller is retiring after many years of service to CCBO, NACAS and the higher education community. As we reflect on Dr. Bob’s tremendous career and wish him the best in his retirement, please take some time to think about your own career. What have you accomplished and what do you still have time to accomplish before your own retirement? What are you most proud of - professionally and personally? How can you focus on making the years ahead worth remembering and celebrating?

Most professionals in the higher education field are permitted to speculate on the future at least once before retirement. I AM retiring, but I will be brief, and rely on the fact that almost no one will check this in ten years. 1. When I entered the higher education profession over 40 years ago, the really BIG idea was "open access." A nation that had created the highest quality post-secondary institutions in the world took on the task of making education available to everyone. It was a monumental task that vitally involved a transition from "Junior" Colleges to Community Colleges. And it was successful. But, success at a single task often creates problems in its attainment. The meaningfulness of a two- or four-year degree sometimes was diminished. Open access did not always translate to successful achievements nor degree attainment. Open access may have resulted in some waste and certainly was costly. But despite students failing in sometimes breathtaking numbers, those who could benefit from an education, and who had often been denied their success DID succeed.
