Women today have numerous educational options to choose from. In addition to the traditional four-year programs, other routes to personal and professional achievement are abundant and growing, and many are designed for the adult learner who is returning to school after raising a family, or who is trying to chart a new professional path.Terri Graham and Christi Shield will discuss “Trends in Higher Education” — with an emphasis on issues and resources for women in IRC — at a speaker luncheon sponsored by the American Association of University Women. The luncheon is at 11:30am Saturday, February 15, in the Richardson Center of Indian River State College in Vero Beach.
Dr. Graham is the Advancement Regional Development Executive, responsible for institutional development to cultivate relationships, partnerships, and donors for IRSC, serving as the primary liaison and channel of communication between the College and external stakeholders.

She has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in elementary education from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU), an MBA in Management and Marketing from Rollins College, and a doctorate in Higher Education Administration from the University of Florida.
