Dear Colleagues,

I have exciting news for our Miami Dade College community.

It is my great pleasure to announce the President’s Leadership Academy, a leadership program dedicated to recognizing and elevating emerging leaders at MDC.

The inspiration for this program is embedded in my commitment to making MDC an exceptional place to work, by delivering a culture of care through supporting one another, recognizing excellence, and promoting professional development. As members of the College’s leadership, you help lead the way for our institutional success. Over the last several years, you’ve demonstrated outstanding tenacity, resilience, and leadership. I hope that this program will be a pipeline to optimize your abilities and help MDC embrace its responsibility to serve as an economic, cultural, and civic leader in our diverse global community.

With that, I am inviting you to apply to this program that is uniquely designed to enhance leadership skills and opportunities at the College. If selected, you will gain insight from global leaders, and build on your knowledge about higher education with a cohort of colleagues.

All applications are due by July 1, and will be reviewed by a committee for consideration. An announcement for those selected to the program will be made by August 15, with a start date of September 2022.

As always, thank you for your continued contributions to the future of Miami Dade College. Please count on my support of your professional journey at MDC.

Sincerely,

Madeline Pumariega
President
