Have you ever considered a teaching career at a community college? This career can have high impact on students beginning their higher education and often includes a strong community focused work environment. This panel of faculty will discuss their experiences in community colleges in Iowa, Texas, and Southern California. The discussion will include their career path, what they like most about the community college setting, and common misconceptions about the career. Bring your questions and be prepared to explore this wonderful career path.
