I am currently enrolled in the Morgan State University's Community College Leadership Doctoral Program (CCLDP), "The Community College Leadership Doctoral Program is designed to prepare students for leadership roles and professorial positions within the community college setting. The intense program of study leading to a Doctor of Education Degree focuses on training professionals for the unique situations encountered by senior administrators and faculty in community colleges. A major emphasis of the program is research relevant to the issues and concerns of community colleges." I am part of Cohort #47 and began my studies in Fall 2016.
