Michelena takes new role at Page

Renee E. Michelena has added LEC Program Coordinator to her duties at the Page campus. Since 1993, Michelena has been an associate faculty memeber at CCC and as of August 1998, she added this new title.

Her responsibilities include serving as a liaison with the district director for the Learning Enhancement Center, providing leadership for learning assistance and foundation studies and assisting in the planning and delivering of learning assistance activities for the Page campus.

"One challenge that will be fun to pursue is to create lasting, effective partnerships with the community, businesses, student body and the library," Michelena said.

While working on this challenge, Michelena has several goals she hopes to attain during her first year in this position. These include increasing student usage in the LEC and planning learning assistance activities in a variety of ways to CCC and NAU students.

To help promote success of the students Michelena believes communication between students, faculty, administration, the community and the media must take place.

"It has been my goal to work in a post-secondary educational system," said Michelena. "Now that I am working at CCC, I'm loving the constant state of learning."

During her free time, Michelena enjoys reading, shopping, decorating and gardening. One of her favorite interests is "learning...constantly learning."
