Abstract
A progression of forward-looking leaders has guided William Rainey Harper College to become one of the nation's premier community colleges. During the course of 55-plus years, each of Harper's presidents has played a role in moving the suburban Chicago institution to the forefront of higher learning, overseeing groundbreaking initiatives in student support, academic success, community partnerships, technology, and more. Dr. Avis Proctor, Harper's sixth and current president, traces how the college's drive for innovation began with its namesake, the founder of the junior college movement, and continues to enhance the institution's deep connections to its community. She explains how Harper's equity-focused, holistic approach to education represents the most recent era within a legacy of trailblazing endeavors.
