(Photo by Russell Stiger, Jr.)<\/p>\n<p>The way education is delivered may look different these days, but American River College remains committed to preparing students for a more certain future, its new president says.<\/p>\n<p>Melanie Dixon officially assumed the helm at ARC last month, after being named to the position late last year. Ms. Dixon previously served as Los Rios Community College District\u2019s Associate Vice Chancellor of Educational Services and Student Success. She joined the district in 2014 as Dean of Student Services at Folsom Lake College.<\/p>\n<p>The Sacramento OBSERVER recently spoke to Ms. Dixon about her vision for the campus and leading at a moment in time that demands for real change to occur.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a Black woman, I think there is a calling to respond to some of the challenges that the Black community face, but also just underserved communities,\u201d she said. \u201cThe \u2018have nots,\u2019 if you will, the \u2018less than,\u2019 the marginalized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn a very personal and professional level, that speaks to me, to lend my leadership and to step in with some courage around being able to speak to structures that are racist, speak to practices that require an overhaul, and speak to (structural) practices that require attention to be reflective in the communities in which we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Challenging times are ahead, brought on by current racial and economic climates which Ms. Dixon says, calls for some \u201chealing and truth telling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ARC\u2019s student population is predominantly White and male. Thirty percent are Latinx and the African American student population fluctuates between 13 and 18 percent, with many now identifying as mixed race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to look at the demographics in our community and make sure that we\u2019re representative, that\u2019s part of what the work is,\u201d Ms. Dixon shared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to retool about how do we provide outreach to communities of color and create those opportunities, but more importantly, I think, is how do we provide mentorship in a very meaningful way? Part of it is educating ourselves about how to serve our community, but then creating the space.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will always be able to do better. Our hiring processes don\u2019t necessarily move as quickly as the demographics change in our communities, but it\u2019s our obligation to try to keep a finger on that pulse,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She points to current leadership at the local community college campuses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a sign of the commitment to equity work and being representative of the communities that we serve and recognizing where the leadership needs to happen,\u201d Ms. Dixon said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not by happenstance that we have a very diverse presidency or leadership line. If you look at Cosumnes, where Dr. (Edward) Bush is a phenomenal leader and has done some very forward leading work, but more importantly is closing equity gaps for students. We have President (Michael) Gutierrez over at Sacramento City College, who has done some really incredible work around diversifying his faculty and employee base to be reflective of the community and then you have (Dr. Whitney Yamamura) an Asian American male over at Folsom Lake College who is doing amazing work. I think it is intentionality. If you look at our manager ranks, I think you will see a great diversity there as well. We have to continue those efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Dixon says ARC has a vision in place that it\u2019s been working on. She hit the ground running, she says, to understand what elements of the existing vision are working best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy vision overall for ARC is to be reflective of the communities that we represent, but it\u2019s also serving the community, how do we create employment for that community. How do we develop programs?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Dixon points to a dual enrollment program that allows area high school students to take courses at the college and possibly earn an associate\u2019s degree at the same time as their high school diploma.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a critical program for serving communities of color in particular and especially in areas where we know that college-going cultures aren\u2019t necessarily pushed as much as they should be or as we see in more affluent communities,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s also excited about the campus\u2019 new STEM building, calling it \u201ccritical\u201d to diversifying the pipeline of students going into the science and technology fields.<\/p>\n<p>ARC will remain closed at least through the spring semester, due to COVID-19. Leaders are still in conversation about reopening plans. They\u2019re watching the vaccination rollout carefully and are stockpiling personal protective equipment for students and staff for when \u201cthe dust settles\u201d and everyone returns to campus for traditional or hybrid instruction. Even the pandemic has provided opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe programs we are running are considered first responder programs, so nursing, respiratory care, EMTs,\u201d Ms. Dixon said. \u201cThose programs that, If in fact the pandemic will get out of control in our particular area, we will push our students into the system to provide support.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Dixon is the first African American woman to lead American River College. She follows two other Black women who recently led local community colleges: Kathryn Jeffery served as president of Sacramento City College from 2008 to 2016 and Thelma Scott-Skillman was the founding president of Folsom Lake College and served in that capacity from 2001 to 2012.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally appeared in <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/sacobserver.com\/2021\/02\/arc-president-is-community-focused\/\"><em>the Sacramento Observer<\/em><\/a><em>.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SACRAMENTO OBSERVER \u2014 \u201cMy vision overall for ARC is to be reflective of the communities that we represent, but it\u2019s also serving the community, how do we create employment for that community.
