Resilient by Design: The Future of America’s Community Colleges

Speaker: Dr. DeRionne Pollard, President, American Association of Community Colleges

The Voices of Impact Speaker Series provides a space for learning, reflection, and inspiration—reinforcing Reynolds’ commitment to professional growth and collective excellence. By engaging with national thought leaders, the Reynolds community has the opportunity to explore ideas that challenge assumptions, encourage collaboration, and drive progress.

Through these conversations, the series seeks to empower participants to lead with purpose, clarity, and courage—continuing Reynolds’ mission of transforming lives and strengthening the communities it serves.

As the Unlocking Potential framework continues to shape professional development at Reynolds, Voices of Impact offers an avenue for participants to connect theory to practice, apply new insights to their leadership, and inspire one another to make meaningful contributions both inside and outside the college.

Join us for one—or all—of these inspiring sessions as we continue to unlock potential, together.

This session is open to all faculty and staff, students, and community members.

Registration encouraged but not required.
