Gena Glickman | President, Manchester Community College
By John Stearns
jstearns@HartfordBusiness.com
Manchester Community College (MCC) Presi-
dent Gena Glickman is retiring from her role on
July 1, but doesn't plan to leave education; she was
recommended by the board of trustees for Mas-
sasoit Community College in
Brockton, Mass., to be that
school's president. The Mas-
sachusetts Board of Higher
Education is expected to vote
on approving her June 19.
"It's always bittersweet
to hand over the reins of
leadership, but I know that
MCC is in a good position
thanks to the talent and
dedication of our faculty, staff and community
partners," said Glickman, 66. "The opportunity
at Massasoit is good for me personally and also
will allow me to continue to make a contribu-
tion to community colleges, which I believe are a
national treasure of higher education."
As she prepares to depart MCC after 10 years
there, Glickman preferred not to comment when
asked what she thought of a Connecticut State
Colleges and Universities proposal to consolidate
the state's 12 community colleges, a plan later
rejected by a regional accrediting body.
What are you most proud of accomplishing at
MCC during your time as president?
We've developed a significant number of new
programs and enhanced student services, and our
business, university and community partnerships.
I'm also proud of the significant growth of our
MCC Foundation resources. Students have access
to a rigorous liberal arts and science education
alongside programs that lead directly to em-
ployment with a certificate or associate degree.
Students graduate or transfer from MCC with
little to no debt. Graduation rates have improved,
as well as other metrics of student success.
In addition, our long-term facilities master
planning will continue to move forward, en-
abling us to better serve students.
What's the biggest change you've noticed in
higher education during your career?
Higher education has obviously become more
costly — while at the same time more vital than
ever to long-term success, not just in terms of
employment but also in terms of people becom-
ing more informed citizens, better neighbors and
more active members of the community.
What's one thing people don't know about you?
I take ballroom dance lessons and competed
in a competition that supported the Manchester
community.
