The National Institute for Staff & Organizational Development (NISOD) honored Richland College President Dr. Stephen K. Mittelstet with the International Leadership Award last May at its International Conference on Teaching and Leadership Excellence. The award recognizes individuals who are making a substantial difference in the world of higher education.
Mittelstet has served since 1979 as president of Richland College and was recognized by the 79th Texas Legislature in 2005 for his “contributions to the educational vitality of North Texas.” He is the 2007 recipient of the Educational Testing Services O’Banion Prize for inspiring significant change to teaching and learning. Under Dr. Mittelstet’s leadership, Richland is the first community college to be recognized by the White House and the U.S. Department of Commerce as a recipient of the 2005 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. Mittelstet has won numerous other awards and has also served on numerous national, regional, and state boards and task forces and on boards of chambers of commerce and planning and economic development councils.
