Both colleges:

Both colleges are ATD Leader Colleges!

Page 15: Larry  Durrence , Ph.D. Pam Millsap, Ph.D. College of the Mainland

Success is what counts. 15

But the continuity of Presidential leadership has differed at the two

institutions, as Brazosport has enjoyed the leadership of the same President since 1996, while COM has been under the leadership of

four different Presidencies during its ATD involvement!

So how have these two colleges, despite their different leadership

situations, manifested their commitment to student success?

really look like?
