Mukund Wankhede for SC4 Board Trustee

It has been an honor to serve as a Board Member for SC4 since 2023, contributing to the St. Clair County community, which I’ve proudly called home for the past 21 years.

In just 19 months, I have helped secure $28,000 in energy rebates from Michigan Utiities for SC4 and facilitated a Society of Women Engineers STEM scholarship specifically for women at SC4. As a Finance Committee member, I’ve reviewed SC4’s independent financial audit and annual budget, ensuring transparency and financial accountability. My initiative in the Presidential Search process led to my appointment as Chair of the Presidential Search Subcommittee. Additionally, my efforts to strengthen ties between schools and SC4 earned me a role as a Delegate to the St. Clair County Association of School Boards (SCCASB). I am eager to build on these successes.

My commitment to education is deeply personal, rooted in my family’s legacy. My father, one of eight siblings, left his village to become an engineer, setting our family on a path of success through education. He inspired my mother to further her education, leading her to earn two bachelor’s degrees and a master’s degree, and to rise from schoolteacher to Administrator of a school with over 1500 students. My parents’ dedication enabled my brother and me to study abroad, paving the way for our success in the USA.

With over 30 years of engineering experience, including nearly a decade in leadership roles, and firsthand experience in higher education in the U.S., I am committed to advancing SC4’s STEM leadership. My extensive STEM network, combined with a deep passion for impacting current and future generations through education, makes SC4 the ideal place for me to contribute meaningfully.

The past 19 months have been incredibly fulfilling, and I’m excited about what lies ahead. Here’s where I want to focus my efforts: Student Retention and Success: I’m dedicated to addressing essential needs such as food, housing, and employment. Leveraging My Position: As an SC4 delegate to SCCASB, I will seek opportunities for student recruitment and success through partnerships with School Boards. Building Collaborative Relationships: I aim to develop new partnerships between the college and local industries, businesses, and government to benefit our students. Community Engagement and DEI: I’m committed to strengthening our community engagement and advancing our DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) efforts.

I am deeply passionate about both education and community well-being, and I’m eager to continue this important work. That’s why I’m pursuing a 6-year term as an SC4 Trustee.
