The Changing Landscape of Dual Enrollment – Opportunities, Challenges, and Future Trends

Jeff Percha, Biology Faculty, Mid Michigan College

Beginning with a brief presentation of dual enrollment at MMC, a roundtable discussion will ensue allowing participants to share their experiences serving dual students and their thoughts on what the future of dual enrollment will be.

At the end of this seminar, Jeff will “pass the gavel” on to MCCB President-elect John Doudna.

MCCB provides a state-wide forum for sharing instructional techniques and up-to-date information for teaching college-level biology. The organization fosters communication, friendship, and unity among the biologists of the twenty-nine community colleges in the State of Michigan. Our logo reflects the location of those 29 colleges. Two state-wide conferences are held annually.

Founded in the early 1980’s, MCCB began as an offshoot of COSIP (the College Science Improvement Program).  Two COSIP groups were originally created in Michigan: a southern group of colleges (associated with the University of Michigan/Dearborn and directed by Dr. Hertzler) and a northern group of colleges (associated with Central Michigan University and directed by Dr. Carl Scheel). The initial meeting to form a statewide organization of community colleges took place at Delta College in 1981. The first slate of officers was elected at that time, with Eldon Enger as President and Janet Dettloff as Vice-President
