Dr. Larry Tyree Announces His Retirement!

Dr. Tyree concluded his last class at the University of Florida on Saturday the 18th of February with few words. The self-proclaimed introvert, Dr. Tyree, began his farewell by saying he enjoyed “learning with you.”

With and from this perspective, Dr. Tyree served as a community college CEO for 26 years at Gulf Coast Community College in Panama City, Florida, the Dallas (Texas) Community College Dis-trict, and Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville, Florida. He also served as interim CEO of the Jefferson Community and Technical College District in Louisville, Kentucky. Dr. Tyree has many publications to his credit, and he served as board chair of the American Asso-ciation of Community Colleges and the League for Innovation in the Community College. He also was a member of the board of directors of the American Coun-cil on Education. He was named

a distinguished alumnus of his three alma maters, Pensacola Junior College, Indiana Univer-sity, and the University of Florida. He has served as an adjunct, a word he has since stopped using due to its definition, from 1992 to 2001, when he became a full-time Professor in the department. During his farewell, Dr. Tyree received a phone call from his daughter Tracy. She congratu-lated him on all of his achieve-ments and shared she was ready to spend more time with him.

The ordinarily jovial and candid leader became slightly emotional. Quickly composing himself, he told the class that his own mother couldn’t say “Good morning” without getting emotional. Shortly thereafter, the class con-cluded with his parting words to the group, “let me know if I can be of help.” Little does he know, his decision to teach and share his own experi-ences and knowledge, has helped us in ways he could never know.

The 2006 Community College

Futures Assembly, sponsored by

the Institute of Higher Education

and led by Dr. Dale Campbell,

offered an opportunity to exam-

ine The New Rules of Business.

This theme was examined

through lectures by Mark. N.

Vamos, Editor of Fast Company

Magazine, and the new President

of the Association of Community

College Trustees, Noah Brown.

Assembly participants engaged in

focus groups, lead by Department

of Educational Administration

and Policy faculty and students, to

develop their own perspectives on

what they thought the new rules

of business should be for commu-

nity colleges in the future. The

focus groups were lead by confer-

ence attendees who voted via

hand-held devices. The new rules

will be published in the Commu-

nity College Journal of Research

and Practice.

The assembly also afforded the

opportunity to celebrate the ac-

complishments of the 30 com-

petively selected Bellweather final-

ist community colleges. Their

innovative applications provide

exposure to practices that are

successfully leading community

colleges into the future. The

work of the participants and final-

ists at the 2006 Community Col-

lege Futures Assembly clearly

support this notion.

kicked off on January 26th with a

presentation by Carlyle Ramsey.

Dr. Ramsey is President of Dan-

the role of a community college in

expanding access and strengthen-

When encouraging outreach to

expand access, Dr. Ramsey re-

minded the audience “we can’t

afford to pick low-hanging fruit.”

One way he did so was by opening

outreach centers in various loca-

His outreach extends to corpora-

The department has updated its website to meet the needs of the department. Several key changes have occurred.

First, the “Degrees & Programs” link now separates each concentra-tion into its own distinct area. Higher Education , for example, has a webpage that outlines its purpose, programs and degrees, faculty and courses offered. It should however be noted that the list of classes are options for meet-ing departmental requirements as

stated in program plans. Consult with your advisor to develop an appropriate selection of courses to meet your academic interests.

Another change applies to the “Resources & Information” page. Here, the department provides information, forms and links to offices that provide crucial infor-mation as students progress through their studies. Addition-ally, one may also find departmen-tal information such as Student of the Month bios, previous newslet-

ters, and flyers for upcoming Flor-ida Today Speaker Series events.

Lastly, the webpage has revamped information on faculty and staff, admissions and the Institute on Higher Education.

We invite you to explore and utilize the website to enhance your learning experience.

When I came to the University of Flor-ida, my vision included develop-ing distance education courses and being able to deliver them far from the city limits of Gainesville. I would like to report that the initial steps of that dream have been started. In the spring semes-ter, Dr. David Quinn is teaching Data Driven Decision Making on line. Judging from the enrollment numbers, the course will be popu-

day, were very successful and well attended. The format allows stu-dents to drive in only 4 times per course (spending Friday night in Gainesville) and to more easily fit such travel into their busy work and personal lives.

As a department, we understand that we must change with the times and while we remain totally committed to cutting edge re-search and delivering quality in-struction, we also acknowledge that the means of coursework delivery cannot remain static.
