We are at the halfway point in the summer term. The students begin the in-class presentations tomorrow. As I tell them, this assignment makes me the Amarillo College equivalent of the illusionist — David Copperfield — because I make students vanish. Funny, they stick around until they have to do something. On top of having to do something, the students must do what most folks fear almost as much as death: speak to a group. Ah, well.
The second of the AC presidential candidates is on campus today. This guy is prexy of a rural juco in southeast Arkansas. He was dean of instruction at Clarendon College back in the late 80s. Clarendon College is one of the smallest jucos in TX. After he left Clarendon, he was dean of instruction at Western Oklahoma Junior College in Altus, OK. Amarillo must look like Paris to him. All we will get is blah, blah, blah. Ed buzzwords. We will work together to achieve greatness. Blah, blah, blah.
I can hardly wait to work with the next Leader. Off to class.
