Scott Herrin |
Cuyamaca College dean Scott Herrin spent years going to
college to get his bachelor’s and master’s degree, and ultimately a doctorate
in educational leadership. He’ll be adding one more diploma to his wall next
week: an associate degree from Cuyamaca College.
After a year of taking classes online, Herrin will be
receiving an associate degree in lifelong health and well-being when Cuyamaca
College holds its commencement on Wednesday. Herrin said he earned his other
degrees to advance his professional career, while this degree was simply a
learning experience – about both the subject and to delve into the student
experience.
“What made me decide to do this is because I have fallen in
love with the community college,” Herrin said. “Who we are and what we do is so
important. If I am going to make a career working in this system, I thought it
was super important for me to say that I also am a product of the community college.”
