Student Success

‪School for many resumes today, others next week, some the week after that. Whatever the case, educators let's keep our students OUR focus.‬

Change Now!

Too many wait until the new year to have an excuse to change something; change doesn't require an excuse. Change now.

Texas Bound, and Ready to Serve!

It is so amazing how things have a way of coming back full circle. Just over two years ago I had selected St. Philip's College as a research site to participate in my dissertation regarding community colleges and their role in Texas House Bill 5. Now, I'm driving a moving truck to San Antonio, TX and starting my journey later this week as the VP of Student Success at St. Philip's. I'm grateful, and ready to serve!

Thank you, University of Charleston

Thank you to EVERYONE who attended my going away party the other day. In a short amount of time we accomplished some great things for our students. I am grateful to have served with you all!
