This event is free and open to the public, and is a part of the 100th anniversary celebration of adult education at Muhlenberg College.
Tate is nationally and internationally recognized for her work in facilitating workforce education and training programs among educational institutions, business, labor, government and economic development agencies, and for her efforts in assisting colleges and universities to develop systems of Prior Learning Assessment and quality assurance in adult learning programs. She has been directly involved with the design and implementation of CAEL's tuition assistance management and employee learning programs since 1986 when CAEL launched its first education, training and career counseling program for what was then U S WEST Communications and the Communications Workers of America.
As a presenter, she is regularly sought out for her vision and insights into adult learning and workforce development and their vital relationship to the competitiveness of our workforce and the future of our economy.
She graduated from the University of Illinois at Champaign with masters' degrees in both English and Journalism. She completed her doctoral coursework at the Annenberg School of Communications, University of Pennsylvania. In 1996, Tate was acknowledged for a career devoted to expanding lifelong educational opportunities for adults with the Doctor of Humane Letters honoris causa, conferred by SUNY Empire State College, Saratoga Springs, New York. In 2005, she was recognized for her lifelong contributions to the field of adult learning and workforce development with the Doctor of Humane Letters honoris causa, conferred by the School for New Learning of DePaul University. In 2007, Tate was awarded a third degree, Doctor of Humane Letters honoris causa, by Thomas A. Edison State College in Trenton, New Jersey—in recognition of her success in building CAEL and removing barriers to adult learners.
The Wescoe School of Muhlenberg College strives to provide lifelong learners the opportunity to continue and enhance their education, and to do so in ways that recognize their experience, maturity, motivation, life circumstances and capacity for independent scholarship.
