End the Stigma by Barbara Shelly
"Steve Robinson was in the middle of his 25-minute drive to work on a Thursday morning last February when three nagging thoughts gelled into a plan.
First, community colleges endure a stigma. Robinson, president of Owens Community College, near Toledo, Ohio, says he’s encountered it all his career.
Second, the stigma is not grounded in reality. The days when a two-year college could be passed off as a “13th year of high school” or “last chance college” – to name just a couple of derogatory references – are long gone.
And third, it was time to push back. Simply telling positive stories about community college educations and students wasn’t enough.
Robinson reached his campus, hurried into his office and set about making a sign. He held the sign up to his chin, snapped a selfie and shared the photo on the @OCCPresident Twitter feed.
#EndCCStigma, the sign read.
A campaign was born."
