The purpose of this study was to examine the outcomes of the twelve community college programs sponsored by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. Within this general framework, two particular objectives were pursued: to determine whether former Kellogg fellows have assumed leadership positions within the community/junior college field; and to determine whether evidence exists that former Kellogg fellows have had an influence upon the development of the community/junior college field. / The population for the study included 459 living Kellogg fellows in twelve community college leadership programs during the period 1960-74. Data for the study was obtained by four methods. These methods were: (1) a survey of the Kellogg fellows; (2) an Education Index search of the most frequent contributors to community college literature; (3) a survey of a panel of fifteen experts; and (4) a search of AACJC records for most frequent contributors to the annual conventions of the AACJC. / It was found that approximately 90 percent of the 339 respondent fellows have spent some part of their professional employment time in positions related to community college education since completing the JCLP. Two-thirds reported that all of their professional career has been in this area since completing the program. Moreover, 60 percent of the respondents reported that they had achieved positions at the community college deanship or presidential level with ninety-eight fellows reporting that they had been president in 124 two-year institutions. / Data collected using the Education Index, the panel of fifteen experts, and the records of the AACJC revealed that Kellogg fellows were among the most significant contributors to the development of the community college. Kellogg fellows were associated with model programs in nine of ten categories, and received nominations as leaders in seven of ten issues related to the development of community colleges since 1960. In all areas measured which were related to contributors to the literature of the field, Kellogg fellows were among the most significant authors. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 41-01, Section: A, page: 0129. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1980.
