College of the Redwoods, along with other higher education institutions, is suffering major financial strains and educational challenges as a result of the current pandemic. How we creatively address those stresses to accomplish our educational mission is critical to the success of our students and our institution. We’ll discuss how College of the Redwoods is facing these challenges to ensure that our students have a successful path forward.

Dr. Keith Flamer was named president/superintendent of College of the Redwoods effective April 11, 2017. He holds a bachelor's degree from Eastern Washington University, a master's degree in public administration from Eastern Washington, and a doctorate of philosophy in organizational lLeadership from Gonzaga University. As an educational leader, he believes that it is critical to embrace diversity, and remain sensitive to the needs of all students. He supports the success of those who may be differently abled, or who experience social, cultural and economic orientations and backgrounds different from those experienced by faculty and staff with whom these students interact. He firmly believes that diversity is strength -- and that multiculturalism is something to be celebrated, promoted, and cherished.
