Quentin Bogart came to ASU in 1970 from Texas Southmost College, a community college in Brownsville, Texas where he had been President. He joined the Center for the Study of Higher Education, now called Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, in the Education College. He retired in 1995 after 25 years of service.

Quentin’s area of interest was community colleges and the important role they play. Universities and Community Colleges are often in competition and this interview shows how he was able to work for both sides: helping community college districts, developing future community college teachers and administrators, and working to smooth the transfer from community colleges to Arizona’s universities. Quentin discusses working with President Michael Crow to have the Retiree’s Association officially recognized as part of ASU.

His interview was conducted June 17, 2013.
