Please join Professional Development and our Pathways team as we welcome Dr. Donna Beegle to SUNY Broome!
Dr. Beegle grew up in generational, migrant labor poverty and left school at 15 to get married. At 25, she found herself divorced with two children, little education, and few marketable job skills. At age 26, she earned her GED at Mt. Hood Community College. She went on to study poverty, communication, and education and–within 10 short years–received her Doctorate in Educational Leadership. Dr. Beegle combines her lived experiences of poverty with 30 years of research and work with colleges in all 50 states, to create inclusive, responsive environments that promote educational success.
