Linda Bates Parker, Director of the Career Development Center since 1987, is an "excellent leader, an engaging teacher and very well respected," says Joseph C. Gallo, Center for Organizational Leadership Director.  Parker, a Distinguished Faculty Fellow who helped develop some of UC's first distance learning courses, has taught her popular Managing Diversity in the Workplace course in McMicken since 2002.  As a widely recognized expert on issues of women and of diversity, her recommendations laid the groundwork of the university-wide Diversity Task Force.  Parker is noted by students and colleagues for her "long-lasting and life-changing" style of teaching and as someone who "is driven by the satisfaction of seeing her students achieve their goals."
