Austin Community College president and CEO Richard Rhodes will be making the rounds to all eight campuses and two administrative office locations this spring in a series of town-hall-style meetings being billed as "Conversations with the President."
The 10-part series of conversations consists of a one-hour reception at each location in which students, faculty and staff can ask questions of and become better aquainted with their president.
Faculty accessibility is an important part of the college experience and is also related to student success, according to Rhodes.
"I'd say first and foremost, it's all about relationships and it has to do with creating an environment to where students feel like they belong, and that happens with all employees at all levels and that is building a mentor relationship or a relationship to where you know people," Rhodes said in an interview.
