2017

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

The existing board has crafted a comprehensive master plan for Collin College's future in the midst of the explosive growth Collin is and will continue to experience. I want to help with the implementation of the plan in the following areas:

  1. Adding more academic perspective to decisions regarding rapid growth. The current board members contribute impressive amounts of legal, economic and project management acumen, but there needs to be more of a balance between the business and academic aspects of college leadership. As the college continues to open new and expand existing campuses, it's critical that the faculty are supported, developed and kept up-to-date on technology as a tool to increase student engagement.
  2. Encouraging the addition of more workforce programs. These are a part of the master plan already, but we need more if we're going to sustain our community in Collin County and maintain the economic advantage that Collin College brings to all members of our community. A big part of this is working towards a culture that values workforce certifications like HVAC and plumbing as much as we value students working towards transferring to a traditional four-year university.[4]
