dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the experiences of African American women administrators working in executive leadership positions that exist within the presidential pipeline at predominately White community colleges. Data was collected through semi-structured one-on-one interviews with five participants. Work-Life balance and barriers related to race and gender emerged as challenges during the career journeys of the women interviewed. Although they were presented with challenges, the ability to maintain a strong support system, having a faith system, creating a career path that focuses on leadership, and having a passion for community colleges contributed to their success as community college leaders. This research can provide a better understanding of the experiences of African American women community college administrators and how their roles as leaders contribute to the diversity within community colleges, both in the administration and as role models for minority students. | |
