Impressions Of Bergen Community College President Kaye Walter

After the offering, Malkan suggested to Dr. Walter that perhaps she might have some time to grant www.ParamusPost.com an interview. Despite her busy schedule, this affable woman agreed without hesitation thus representing a changeover from previous college presidents that this reporter has interviewed. Even more striking was the casualness of the interview; one done without the need for academia titles or formality. Needless to say, there have been other college dignitaries who were impressed with their doctorate degree and have thought to awe others with their achievement.

Kaye Walter came to Paramus while there was still tension existing and emanating from many different directions. Her ability to cope with these problems along with her advanced problem solving talent has enabled her to amicably cope with them. Spread throughout the Boardroom were charts listing goals and some of the problems associated with them that had to be addressed, another change at the top management level. Although politics did not come into play, this dynamic soft spoken woman has managed to face up to it all with equanimity.

There are definite progressive educational programs designed for the future and B. Kaye Walter, PHD is implementing them.
