Salem City Club is pleased to host Chemeketa Community College

President Dr. Cheryl Roberts on Friday, February 3, 2012 at noon. Her presentation will include a concise, coherent overview of the educational services offered and progress made by Chemeketa Community College under her leadership, as guided by the College’s commitment to “transform lives and communities through exceptional learning experiences.” In addition, Dr. Roberts will share her thoughts on the challenges of providing exceptional learning experiences for students in an era of reform, declining budgets, and increasing enrollments.

Chemeketa’s programs are aimed to meet the needs of local high school graduates, more mature students, second career aspirants, as well as the expectations of a broad spectrum of employers in Oregon and elsewhere. Learning-centered workforce development based on the diverse educational needs of the Mid-Willamette Valley constitutes one core part of the College’s mission, along with solid student success as measured by rigorous educational analytics. Dr. Roberts helped launch the popular Chemeketa Scholars program offered to high performing students who apply to attend the College free of tuition. She is also committed to equity within cultural diversity of the student body. As Chemeketa celebrates its 40^th anniversary, enrollment growth is now in the double-digits, and there has been significant growth in on-campus construction projects.

President Roberts was selected as the ninth president for the College in May of 2007. She brought with her a diverse background in academic leadership and administration at several Northwest institutions of higher learning. Her graduate degrees are in educational leadership, organizational development, change management, and counseling psychology. She serves on several community boards.
