In response to a question from the Community Impact Newspaper about which issues she would like to address, Chambers said:

An increasing number of area high school students are participating in Collin College's dual credit program. One pressing issue to consider and address is the barriers to participation in this program, especially those faced by students identified as economically disadvantaged. As the dual credit program expands, it is feasible that many students could graduate from high school with an associate's degree, leading to immediate employment or seamless transfer to a 4-year university.

The value of Collin College education is phenomenal. Having the lowest tuition rate in the state—$46 per credit hour—allows students to complete basic college requirements before enrolling in a four-year institution. Strong relationships with multiple universities should be advanced and the variety of degrees offered should expand maximizing benefits to the community.

In some industries, demand for skilled workers is high and workforce needs are unmet. Nearly 1/3 of all new jobs require a certification or Associate’s Degree. The college, led by forward-thinking trustees and administration, must assess specific educational and training requirements in growing industries and provide students with pathways to these jobs. Partnering with our local businesses and corporations will be critical to staying ahead of technological advances and changing job markets.[3]
