Statement:
As
an academic administrator with over a dozen years of advising
experience from the faculty and administrative sides alike, I
believe that I would bring to the chair's position a perspective
that is open to collaboration, consensus, and active dialogue
amongst faculty and staff academic advisors and support and administrative
staffs collectively. One of my initial goals would be for this
commission to explore and recommend ways and means through which
communication can be initiated and/or improved within the aforementioned
groups.
In
addition, my background includes experience encompassing a Research
I university, small private college, regional technical 2/4-year
college, small private university, and community college settings.
As such, I draw from a wide variety of models, histories and practices
that would hopefully help inform and support the information exchanges
that members of this commission share in person or via the Web,
leading to proposals (perhaps even a platform) that this commission
can take to the leadership team and membership-at-large of NACADA.
