My Life’s Work and Passion
By: Dr. Lance Izumi, President, California Community Colleges Board of Governors

Education is my life’s work and passion. I’ve spent 20 years in the field – though a lawyer by training, I became fascinated with education issues while serving as a speechwriter for former California governor George Deukmejian. I am currently serving my second term as President of the California Community Colleges Board of Governors, which is responsible for managing 110 community colleges in California – the Nation’s largest system of higher education. I am also the Koret Senior Fellow and Senior Director of Education Studies at the Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy. More.

Army Educational Outreach Program (AEOP)

The Army Educational Outreach Program consists of multiple programs to engage students and teachers in Army sponsored research, education, competitions, internships and unique practical experiences to stimulate the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields.

Gains in the Education of Mathematics and Science

Gains in the Education of Mathematics and Science (GEMS) is a one-to-four week program that allows students an opportunity to participate in a paid internship over the summer in an Army Laboratory learning the real life application of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. 

Boost

The Boost campaign is intended to help support and encourage the nearly 7,000 kids a day who drop out of high school. The campaign features stories of real teens from across the country who are struggling to make it through high school, while also encouraging teens and parents to give these kids a "boost" to help them stay in school and graduate.

Planning for Life

Planning for Life (PFL) is a free interactive seminar to help students plan for life beyond high school. The half-day workshop, designed for freshman, sophomore and junior high school students features career and college planning tools, a nutrition/physical fitness segment and a personal development segment.

NHRA Youth and Education Services

Through the Army’s Motorsports Education Outreach Program, thousands of students from area high schools, vo-tech schools and community colleges are exposed to motorsports and have the opportunity to experience a day at the races at no cost.
