Staff Spotlight:
Mike Smith
College Excel has always understood how important it is to make sure our students maintain appropriate course loads and are placed in classes with good professors. That's why we brought on Mike Smith. Mike is able to fully assess a student's academic history and records and then give students an exciting new plan for success. Students come away from their meetings with Mike feeling hopeful and directed.

Mike recently came onboard full-time with us as our Academic Advisor, after working in a variety of roles-from Director of Student Life to Student Government Advisor-at Central Oregon Community College. With more than 25 years of experience in college education, Mike has a love for education and an uncanny ability to establish a quick connection with our students. He has also been instrumental in the development of our Summer College Program.

For fun, Mike referees high school basketball and spends his weekends in the great Central Oregon outdoors. To say that we're excited to have Mike at College Excel is an understatement!
