Greetings
The El Paso Community College Leadership Academy is now accepting
applications for the Class of 2016, which will run from January through
December next year. We will be celebrating our 12th year in offering a
unique professional development opportunity open to all faculty and staff.
The goal of the Class of 2016 Academy is to provide participants with a greater understanding of College
operations, services, programs, and activities that will enhance their service to EPCC and to the community.
Members of the Class of 2016 will participate in monthly training sessions; network with faculty, staff, and
administrators; develop a team project; tour EPCC campuses; and attend a special two-day training event.
I encourage all employees to consider applying for the Class of 2016. To apply, submit your completed
Application, and request that your supervisor and director submit the Supervisor’s Statement of Support.
Applications are due by 5:00 p.m., October 23, 2015. Those currently in leadership roles and those seeking
to enrich their understanding of the College are encouraged to apply. A schedule of the Class of 2016
SPECIAL EDITION sessions, additional information about the Leadership Academy, and an application

I strongly support and congratulate the Leadership Academy Committee for their dedication in structuring
the Academy and their continued commitment to this effort.
Sincerely,
William Serrata, Ph.D.
