A photo gallery of noteworthy graduates stretches across two walls in the office of the Community College Leadership Program, or CCLP, at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. John Roueche, the director of CCLP, points to the photos with pride, listing the accomplishments of his former students. Scanning the portraits, one of his greatest accomplishments also is visible: recruiting a record number of minorities and women into the program. After 42 years leading the nation's most highly regarded and successful training ground for community college presidents, Dr. Roueche, 73, is retiring this summer. He is set apart from his peers not just for his prolific writing, groundbreaking research and exceptional teaching on community college leadership practices, but also for his uncompromising commitment to diversity and inclusion. Dr. Roueche is preparing in August to close the chapter on a distinguished career that spans more than 40 years.
