TMCC political scientist to speak at Carson City Democratic tele-luncheon
Fred Lokken, political science professor at Truckee Meadows Community College, will be the featured speaker at Monday's Democratic tele-luncheon. His presentation will highlight his in-depth analysis and astute observations on the political scene in the run-up to the November election, both in Washington DC and here in Nevada.
Prof. Lokken joined the faculty of Truckee Meadows Community College in 1991 and was granted tenure in 1995. The subject matter covered by his courses include political science, business and history.
In addition to being the Political Science department chair, he has served as the campus Distance Education administrator since 1996. TMCC's WebCollege offers ten online degree options, supporting 375 full- and part-time faculty, generating 28% of the campus's full time equivalent students, and interacts with nearly 80% of the total student body headcount.
Prof. Lokken serves as Associate Dean for the Academic Support Center, which deals with the 450 part-time faculty, the campus information desk, switchboard, campus scheduling, the online class proctoring center, student IDs, and the course numbering and curriculum newsletter.
He also serves as campus concierge for the "Nontraditional No More" adult learners project, and as the liaison for academic technologies. Currently, he is spearheading the development and launch of a fast-track online degree program.
Since 2004 Prof. Lokken has served on the Board of Directors of the Instructional Technology Council (ITC), an affiliate of the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), and served two years as chair. He has conducted the ITC's annual Distance Education survey since 2005. In April 2010, he was elected chair of the Council of Affiliated Councils of the AACC.
Sponsored by the Democratic Men's Committee, this event is scheduled for noon on Monday, September 14th, and will be held online via Zoom teleconference due to the unavailability of in-person venues. Those wishing to be on distribution for teleconference links can email Rich Dunn, Men's Committee Events Coordinator, at richdunn@aol.com.
