FDTC’s Ford Selected For Aspen Institute Fellowship

The Aspen Institute College Excellence Program announced last week that Jermaine Ford, president at Florence-Darlington Technical College, was selected for the inaugural class of the Aspen Presidents Fellowship.

This program, made possible with support from JPMorgan Chase, focuses on developing a sustainable and comprehensive reform agenda that advances excellence and equity in student outcomes at scale.

This class of fellows represents the diversity of the nation’s community colleges. They lead institutions across 14 states that collectively educate more than 280,000 students in varied settings, from a rural college of 700 students to an urban one with enrollment of more than 24,000. The incoming class of Presidents Fellows is 56 percent women and 44 percent people of color.
