Dr. Michael Heberling, president of Baker College Center for Graduate Studies, has been elected for a 2-year term to the board of the Council of College and Military Educators (CCME). As secretary elect, he is responsible for executive correspondence, quarterly newsletters, oversight of the CCME Web site, and recording meeting minutes. He will also help facilitate the mission of CCME, including the promotion and support of quality education programs delivered to service men and women, family members and retirees of the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard.

A CCME member for three years, Heberling has been president of Baker College Center for Graduate Studies, Flint, Mich., since 1998. He is responsible for the operation and quality of Baker’s four graduate programs: information systems, occupational therapy, MBA, and doctor of business administration. Prior to joining Baker College, Heberling was a senior policy and business analyst at Anteon Corporation, Dayton, Ohio.

He earned a bachelor’s degree and officer’s commission at Cornell University through its U.S. Air Force ROTC program. Heberling holds a master’s degree from the University of Northern Colorado through the GI Bill, and a Ph.D. from Michigan State University through an Air Force-sponsored doctoral program.

Retiring as a lieutenant colonel after 21 years of service with the Air Force, Heberling recorded 1,500 hours of flying time in the B-52 Bomber. His last assignment was with the Air Force Institute of Technology at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. While there, he served on the faculty as a program director and department head.
