Site Visiting Team Members:
Dr. May Kuang-chi Chen
Through a circuitous route, Dr. May Kuang-chi Chen went from earning her psychology degree in Taiwan to holding a leadership position at Cabrillo College. Chen was the assistant vice chancellor for strategic enrollment management at Community College of Baltimore County for six years. She works with various college constituencies to develop and implement recruitment, admissions, retention, and transfer initiatives to ensure a successful and diverse student body.
She also has been playing an important role in minority achievement for public school students, in human relation enhancement, and in improving regional K-16 education systems through her contributions to the College Board’s Regional Council.
Chen made a long-term commitment to community college student access and success while working in New Jersey. Through a comprehensive data analysis and planning process, she was struck by the huge gap existing between those “haves” and “have-nots,” and then fully convinced that community colleges would be the “key solution” for closing the gap. Over the past 25 years, Chen’s leadership experience at community colleges has expanded to areas including strategic planning, policy research and formulation, data compilation and analysis, enrollment and student services, teaching and learning, faculty and staff supervision and support, curriculum development, financial and personnel management, and resource development.
