A little hacky sack before our @Kellogg_CC @KelloggBruins play baseball! Staying loose before the bats heat up. 🔥 #WatsUpAtKCC

47 degrees but @Kellogg_CC @KelloggBruins bats are hot. On a winning streak and learning on and off the @MarshallCommCU field each time. #WatsUpAtKCC #Baseball

Transfer pathways are one of the most powerful promises we make in community colleges—and @Kellogg_CC Transfer Tuesdays is a great reminder of why that work matters. Proud to represent @SyracuseU (& Otto) and the role it has played in shaping my own journey. #WatsUpAtKCC

@Kellogg_CC at the @hlcommission #HigherLearning conference. Traditions: A walk right after the train ride & beginning my Saturday morning with a conversation with my peers. Looking forward to checking in on several national themes & directions re: #StudentSuccess. #WatsUpAtKCC

Sometimes leadership means making an impact & sometimes taking a whipped cream pie to the face, another kind of impact! @Kellogg_CC’s “Pie a Student Officer/Faculty” fundraiser, to support SAFE Place, local domestic violence shelter. Embraced the splat for good. #WatsUpAtKCC

Served on panel at 2026 Michigan Partnership for Equity and Opportunity Retreat to discuss an important lever to improve student outcomes: #DualEnrollment. @Kellogg_CC partnerships with local school districts are focused on expanding access & success. #WatsUpAtKCC #StudentSuccess

Last night, recognized latest entrants to @Kellogg_CC chapter of @PHITHETAKAPPA. Tremendous to witness pride of supporters. Message w/ disco ball prop - it shines not b/c of perfect surface, but b/c made of many small mirrors reflecting light in every direction. #WatsUpAtKCC

Began my @Kellogg_CC day by visiting Minges Brook Elementary as a guest reader for Reading Month. The theme this year—“Readers Are Leaders”—is a powerful reminder that the habits we build early in life shape the leaders we become. #WatsUpAtKCC #ReadersAreLeaders #StudentSuccess

#HappeningNow @Kellogg_CC on the road in Lansing after qualifying for Bowling Nationals for M and W. 60 lanes. Oil pattern is a newbie...titled "2026 National Championship." @KelloggBruins continue to rep at a high level. #WatsUpAtKCC

@Kellogg_CC at the 72nd Annual Chamber Community Awards Dinner, a milestone celebration recognizing the businesses and leaders who strengthen Branch County. Drives economic development, creates opportunity, and enhances quality of life throughout the region. #WatsUpAtKCC

Today at @Kellogg_CC! Our Soul Food Luncheon is a celebration of culture, community, and shared table fellowship. From the ribs (yes… seasoned w/ with a little “Slap Ya Mama” rub 🌶️)to the sides and desserts, the meal reflects tradition & history. #WatsUpAtKCC

@Kellogg_CC:24–25 AY, 53% degree-seeking students are Pell-eligible & 89% received 1+ award. @Comm_College serves for whom access, affordability, & support are not abstract, prereq for participation. Fin. aid isn’t a supplement; it’s the on-ramp. #AdvocacyMatters #WatsUpAtKCC

Things I love to see - @Kellogg_CC students at our Bruin Boost engagement event. Awesome to see students having a bit of fun (caricatures, seriously!), getting a free meal, interacting w/ community members w/ service-learning opportunities, and new clubs to join. #WatsUpAtKCC

#HappeningNow @Kellogg_CC is pleased to support the @BattleCreekCity chamber's efforts on community leadership, talent development, and being Future Ready. Great to be joined by a group of employees for lunch and a bit of laughter. #WatsUpAtKCC

@Kellogg_CC is in Marshall tonight. @ChooseMarshall Chamber Dinner & Awards. Great to assist and support others w/ mission of economic well-being and quality of life of residents. Great new event space in town!! #WatsUpAtKCC

Exciting news for Calhoun County & our region’s digital future. @Kellogg_CC, our Lifelong Learning, the Library, and I have served in different roles in this effort. This work isn’t just about faster internet — it’s equitable access to opportunity. #WatsUpAtKCC #DigitalEquity

#HappeningNow Great to sit with Marshall Community Credit Union at the National Day of Racial Healing event. @Kellogg_CC is proud to be an ally. Take the time to pause, to listen, and to remember our shared humanity. #WatsUpAtKCC

@Kellogg_CC was a sponsor at the MLK Community Prayer Brunch and to hear remarks from Congressman James E. Clyburn, whose lifelong commitment to public service & civil rights continues to shape our national conversation. To raise our voices and not be silent. #WatsUpAtKCC
