Resumen

La duración del mandato de un presidente de universidad es inferior a seis años, lo que significa que las juntas y las instituciones están lidiando cada vez más con la rotación asociada con los líderes superiores. Esta rotación se observa en todos los sectores de la educación superior, especialmente en los colegios comunitarios, donde los roles cambiantes de estas instituciones son particularmente pronunciados. El propósito de realizar el estudio fue describir las prácticas de desarrollo profesional de los presidentes de colegios comunitarios con la esperanza de identificar esfuerzos que puedan ayudar a prolongar los mandatos presidenciales. Basándose en una encuesta nacional de 500 presidentes de colegios comunitarios, se recibieron 159 respuestas utilizables que apuntan a la dependencia de conferencias nacionales y la auto-dirección como los métodos principales que los presidentes utilizan para mantenerse actualizados en sus roles.
