Dale Parnell, President

and Chief Executive Officer of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges (AACJC), will deliver the Six­teenth Annual Commencement Address for graduates and guests of The Ohio State University Agricultural Technical In titute.

Dr. Parnell is the author of the nationally acclaimed book, The Neglected Majority, which

Dr. Dale Parnell re ponds to the recent parade of education reform report. The book addresses such issues as the failure to recognize that three out of four high school students-the neglected majority-will not likely earn a baccalaureate degree.

He was listed by The Chronicle ofHigher Education as one of the most effective higher education leaders in Washington, D.C. and helpeddraftand ecurepa age of the 1986HigherEducationAct. He also served on the 1984 Pre idential Inaugural Committee.

He was appointed by the President of the United States as chair of the ational Advi ory Council on Equal Educational Opportunity. In 1985, he was named administrator of the year by the California Community College Administrators Association.

Few leaders of the American educational scene bring such extensive experience and in-depth knowledge about current educa­tional issues.

As a former high school teacher, principal, school superinten­dent, state superintendent ofpublic instruction, college professor, and president of three comnlunity colleges, Dr. Parnell has become the nationally recognized .. poke .. per on for more than 1,224 community, technical, and junior colleges across the nation.
