Re: Associate Vice President and Campus Executive Officer (AVP/CEO) of the NAU Yuma Branch Campus.
Hiring Authority:
The purpose of this letter is twofold: first, to express my interest and enthusiasm in the position of
Associate Vice President and Campus Executive Officer for NAU’s Yuma Branch Campus; and second, to
highlight career achievements that I believe will prove me to be a qualified candidate for this position.
In my current role as associate provost and dean of the faculty for National American University, I
collaborate with academic officers at 37 university campuses in 12 states. My office is responsible for
faculty evaluation, professional development, credentialing, promotion, and pay structure. In addition,
my office assures quality of instruction across the university system and my direct reports include the
System Director of the Center for Student Achievement, learner Support technicians, and the Associate
Academic Coordinator.
I collaborate with and provide guidance to academic deans, program chairs, program coordinators and
faculty to assess and improve teaching and learning. My most significant achievements include the
creation of programs for professional development, recognition, and scholarship; and most recently, a
faculty ranking system that includes adjunct faculty. I have oversight over a five million dollar budget
and six direct reports that coordinate faculty and student services.
As the Director of Education and Training and the Academy for Assessment of Student Learning, Higher
Learning Commission of the North Central Association, I led the Commission’s education and training
services, including programs, workshops, and curricula to support the Commission’s 1000+ institutions.
In this role, I was responsible for the Commission’s Student Learning, Assessment, and the Academy for
Assessment of Student Learning.
I provided everyday consultation and support to 141 colleges and universities working to improve their
systems for assessment of student learning; more than 30 percent of the institutions were working on
projects designed to address compliance issues or consultation provided by peer reviewers. In my role
as Academy Director I provided guidance and evaluated the quality of their work to ensure it satisfied
the learning objectives of the institution, in a mission relevant manner, and met pertinent accreditation
compliance requirements.
My work as Director of Education and Training to develop and implement curricula, for faculty and staff
at 1000+ colleges and universities, on general education and data analysis, design and implementation
of new electronic platform, and collaboration with peer reviewers and institutions of higher education
will be an asset to NAU’s Yuma Branch Campus in the support and facilitation of teaching and learning.
In my last role as dean for academic affairs, I used assessment and professional development strategies
to improve teaching and learning; that focus led to 10 year highs in student success, retention and
enrollment. Students, taking distance learning classes, improved their success rates by 19% and access
to higher education, by qualified high school students, increased by 53%. I embrace the accountability
that comes with the privilege of leadership and always work to document and communicate expected
outcomes and achievements.
As an administrator, I have extended my passion for student success beyond the classroom, while
retaining a clear sense that ownership and pride in institutional success is anchored in the effective
interaction between students and faculty; this is the substance of my educational philosophy, I believe
that education enriches and improves the lives of students and the community. As Associate Vice
President and Campus Executive Officer at NAU’s Yuma Branch Campus, I would work to ensure that the
ever-changing needs, expectations and aspirations of stakeholders were fulfilled with the clarity of
purpose provided by the university’s mission.
My passion rests in the democratic power of education. I believe higher education can affect change
through quality education. It is this commitment to this power of education that I can bring to NAU’s
Yuma Branch Campus. I share your vision of service and would work with energy, determination, and
creativity to empower faculty and staff to meet the current challenges of higher education in a
collaborative manner.
I understand the power of collaboration and servant leadership. My first objective is always to positively
impact student learning and cultures of personal and professional engagement that value individual
students and the professionals that make their success an every day reality.
My communication skills are my best resource for problem solving and consensus building. I have strong
communication skills that facilitate collaboration with diverse groups or individual stakeholders. I have
served as host and director for more than 50 workshops and training conferences; and worked with
small groups from more than 141 institutions to meet their very specific needs in relation to the
assessment and documentation of student learning. I enjoy collaborative efforts and team building work
at all levels of academic interactions.
I have extensive experience related to accreditation work in higher education. As a community college
administrator, I directed community college accreditation efforts on two occasions, including the
Program to Evaluate and Advance Quality (PEAQ) and the Academic Quality Improvement Program
(AQIP). I served as Chair of the Operational Planning Committee overseeing accreditation matters at the
institutional level for the college’s 28 service support units and I helped implement a comprehensive
Program Review System (for career and technical programs) and led the college’s efforts to assess
general education goals. As a member of the HLC Corps, I represented the Higher Learning Commission
on institutional accreditation reviews for four-year and two-year institutions of higher learning. In
addition, I served in the Advisory Group for peer review, in the role of advisor and trainer.
I have always operated a balanced budget; with the Higher Learning Commission, I was responsible for a
one million dollars budget, I increased education and training contacts with institutions and Academy
mentors and developed new processes/procedures to standardize, document, and increase capacity for
services.
Also, I have several years of varied administrative experience including senior administrative roles at
community colleges since 2006. As division dean, at IVCC, I supervised and collaborated with 22 full-time
faculty and over 60 adjuncts. I managed an operational budget of $2.1 million; as director of the Morton
College’s tutoring center, I managed a $122,000 budget and supervised 13 individuals; as Interim Title V
Activity Director for Morton College’s Cooperative Grant with Governor State University, I supervised
three employees and managed a $513,000 operational budget.
As a dean, I have worked with high school counselors, instructors, parent groups and principals; rotary
groups, community boards, action councils, and alumni. As coordinator of the college’s Arts and Letters
Series and Director of Illinois Valley Fine Arts Cooperative (K-14 partnerships), I planned and hosted
cultural events at IVCC. At the state level, I was appointed to the first Illinois Community College Board
Hispanic Advisory Council; and I chaired the committee that organized the 14th Annual Assessment Fair
for Illinois Community Colleges that had the best outcomes in its 14 years history. These and my
everyday collaboration with diverse higher education stakeholders have prepared me to communicate
effectively and serve as Associate Vice President and Campus Executive Officer at NAU’s Yuma Branch
Campus.
My extensive teaching experience has helped me develop a broad understanding of the higher
education spectrum. As an educator since 1996, I have taught at three community colleges, a public
university, and a private four-year institution. My combined teaching experience is the equivalent of 8.2
years of full time teaching (30 credit hours per academic year). At the university level, I have taught
Spanish across the curriculum and film in the humanities; at the community college, I have taught
courses in Spanish, humanities, history, and leadership.
I have an understanding of the future challenges for higher education institutions in regard to
technology. At IVCC, my division provided access and quality education to more stakeholders through
partnerships and technology. By overcoming previous personnel recruiting challenges, I hired twentyseven qualified professionals to meet staffing needs in the early entry to college program and provided
leadership in the development of online courses in anthropology, sociology, French, Spanish,
psychology, history, and speech (blended format). I believe that innovation and technology must be
used to improve the way in which higher education institutions realize the purpose of their mission.
Additionally, I have extensive experience in building and maintaining partnerships with diverse groups
of stakeholders. This is most evident in my work to secure and administer grant dollars. I was able to
partner with educators, in the K-14 system, to make the Illinois Valley Fine Arts Cooperative a
sustainable endeavor through grants and partnerships and it grew by more than 100%. In other grant
work, I have worked with the Department of Education as the Interim Director of Activities for a Title V
Cooperative Grant for a Hispanic serving Institution; and I have served as a panelist for the National
Science Foundation, on two occasions, on their initiative to Broaden Participation in Computing.
In summary, my academic preparation and accreditation work have prepared me to consider complex
organizations and plan holistically. My teams work collaboratively to maximize resources and
effectiveness; always building on the principles and norms of the institutions we represent. My
collaborative leadership style has proven effective in resolving all administrative challenges in student
development and academic affairs, as well as in communicating with external stakeholders.
I would like an opportunity to share my vision of how NAU’s Yuma Branch Campus can continue to be a
model of a learning institution that maximizes resources to advance the educational goals of students
and the quality of life of the community through open communication, collaboration and focus on the
strengths of the faculty and staff to offer the best learning environments in the nation.
