Dr. Annette Bhatia Email and Phone Number

Experienced higher education professional with a demonstrated history of working in the higher education industry. Skilled in PeopleSoft, Student Development, Organizational Development, Assessment, and Strategic Planning. As a native Spanish speaker, I have experience working in diverse environments and enjoy most when I work with at-risk populations focusing on recruitment and retention. I have worked with faculty in various capacities including providing guidance on student academic policies, support on curriculum design, and identifying external grant funding to increase research activities to benefit underrepresented minority groups. I have coauthored, advised, and collaborated on local, state, and federal grants leading to over $7mm in institutional funding. I have used my experiences to shape programs that meet targeted student audiences such as first-generation, low-income, parents, Veterans, and military-affiliated populations resulting in additional programming for non-traditional professional students. Currently, I oversee Pre-College programs at a private Ivy League institution working with over 4,000 students annually on college preparedness in addition to managing our Columbia Scholastic Press Association, Summer and Visting Students, and our American Language Program.
