JCC President Gregory T. DeCinque has been elected president of the Institute for Community College Development (ICCD) board of directors at Cornell University.

ICCD, a collaborative program between Cornell and the State University of New York, provides leadership programming and research support for current and future community college leaders. The activities of the institute are guided by a board of directors comprised of community college presidents from Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and North Carolina. The presidents are joined by SUNY system administration and faculty administrative leaders from Cornell's School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR).

ICCD supports the analysis of educational, social, political, and economic issues of particular importance and concern to community colleges and their peer institutions by conducting high quality and timely research and communicating the conclusions and policy implications of this research through consulting and outreach services.
