On the morning of August 2, 2022, I woke up to a flood of emotions as I reflected on my one-year anniversary as president of the Community College of Aurora. During my initial moments of reflection, I vividly recalled receiving my COMPASS and ACCUPLACER scores at my local community college years ago, and hearing for the first time that I tested at developmental levels for math.

Coworkers can make or break any job. In education, our teaching teams can make our jobs easier and more joyful, or harder and more stressful. I’ve worked with teams where we brought out the best in each other, divided up work efficiently, and enjoyed our work together.
