“I heard the cry loud and clear”
Dr. Lisa Rhine
Yavapai Community College president Dr. Lisa Rhine commented to reporter Jon Hecht in the May 1 Cottonwood Journal Extra about the outpouring of citizens who attended the April 23 Governing Board meeting and spoke passionately about the need for a centralized Career and Technical Education Center in the east region of the County. According to the article, the following was her response:
“I am pleased that so many community leaders and members are passionate about the educational needs of our community and rightfully see the college as the entity that can fulfill those needs.
“I listened intently, and I heard the cry loud and clear from the Valley.” [A CTE facility] “is possible. My next step is to engage a few key stakeholders to explore the possibility and see how we can partner to meet the needs of the community.”
