JCC administrator to present at national conference

Jackson Community College's Jan Lyddon, director of institutional research, has had three proposals accepted for presentation at the national Association for Institutional Research (AIR) Forum coming up in May in Chicago.

Lyddon will present a full-day workshop on building an institutional dashboard to measure critical performance indicators for the College. Lyddon worked with JCC's information technology department to develop a Microsoft Access-based dashboard environment for tracking and trend analysis of Critical Performance Indicators (CPIs) related to operational, performance and strategic plan initiatives for the College.

Lyddon will also participate in a panel discussion regarding the Achieving the Dream project for Community Colleges, and present a paper on partnerships at JCC. Lyddon, working with Ken Garrison of the Business and Industry Support Center and Mark Schopmeyer, economics professor, set out to better understand and try to build a model for effective partnerships from the standpoint of the community college.

Jan Lyddon has worked at JCC since 2002. She resides in Jackson with her husband, Bruce McComb.
