OCTC part of inaugural Leadership exChange cohort

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – The Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) and its affiliate, the Kentucky Student Success Collaborative (KYSSC), are hosting the inaugural Leadership exChange cohort beginning in September, and someone from Owensboro Community and Technical College (OCTC) is included.

Officials say Barb Tipmore, who is with OCTC, is affiliated with the Counseling Center. This is according to OCTC’s website . Tipmore will be among more than 30 campus leaders from public, private and Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) institutions who will participate in five workshops throughout the academic year, culminating in a team-based project.

CPE says the Leadership exChange cohort is a year-long change leadership program designed to provide participants with a comprehensive set of skills and tools to lead strategic change initiatives, foster innovation and drive continuous improvement within their institutions of higher education. Throughout the program, cohort members will learn key change leadership principles, connect through a team-based capstone project and apply those concepts to benefit Kentucky students.

“Embracing change leadership strategies in higher education has the potential to profoundly enhance student success outcomes,” Dr. Lilly Massa-McKinley, executive director of KYSSC, said.
