When asked if being awarded the Aspen Prize one year ago was his highest professional accomplishment Shugart said “I feel best about our work through our student’s stories. When I hear of a student who succeeded against the odds and gone places and done things no one had ever imagined possible including the student, those are my best moments.” After winning the Aspen Prize the college has received more attention from the community and the national educational community and Shugart has be able to travel more to speak on national pan- els and explain the work of Valencia College. The college also has several goals for the future to go along with its ever-growing campuses and raising numbers of student enrollment. Valencia is still working on the goals of improving graduation rates of students in need of basic refresher courses and others that require fundamental help with re- mediation in the fields of math, English and other skills needed to find success in college. There is also a continued focus on the colleges’ advanced degrees and continued refinement in the “DirectConnect” program that works to guarantee graduating students a place at Valencia’s partner school, the University of Central Florida. President Shugart’s overall message to the stu- dents at Valencia recognized that this award was based on their accomplishments just as much as the administrators, faculty and other staff members that made it possible.
