My first presidential address to the @MineralAreaCC faculty and staff went very well! Such great people to work with, I can't wait to meet them all. I was able to present my vision for the future of MAC today and some of my key points are in this thread, enjoy! #POMAC
@MineralAreaCC Salary Equity

Making a basic cost-of-living increase each year a priority goes a long way in valuing people. Money doesn't equal happiness in employment, but feeling valued does. Knowing your place of employment cares enough to make this a priority is priceless. #POMAC
@MineralAreaCC Accessibility and Tuition

Currently, @MineralAreaCC has one of the lowest tuition rates in the state. This is important for accessibility of our low income region and helping students leave without debt.

Today we honor the life of Ed Roberts - a pioneer in the independent living movement who challenged paradigms and pushed for community integration of people with disabilities. smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-in…
On his birthday, we honor the work of Ed Roberts, who inexhaustibly championed the rights and humanity of disabled Americans from his time as a student activist transforming UC Berkley into an accessible campus, to founding the World Institute on Disability.
Ed Roberts revolutionized the independent living movement, crafting what we know it to be today. While much progress has been made, there is more to do and honoring his legacy means continuing to fight for #peoplewithdisabilities.
