Wheelhouse supports leadership and
practice in the California Community Colleges, the nation’s
largest system of higher education. We accomplish that mission in
two ways:
Leadership/Network Development: Our
Institute on Leadership delivers professional and peer learning
for annual, select cohorts of Wheelhouse Fellows—district
chancellors and college presidents. We focus on leading for
equity, purposeful disruption, individual and organizational
agility, research and policy know-how. Throughout, we build
lasting peer networks. Learn more about the Institutes
here.
Actionable Research: We support and
cultivate a statewide scholar network, bringing research to practice through timely,
digestible, independent briefs to decision-maker audiences at the
state, regional and local levels.
Our work is led by a diverse and committed team and counseled by
a Board of
Advisors composed of long-time leaders in community
college practice and research. We are supported by UC
Davis, the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, and
private philanthropy.
