As a result of these collaborations I have been able to obtain just under $2 million dollars for new resources that include 250 new computers for Visual Arts, 13 new computers and new instruments for the School of Music, new photography equipment, new production equipment for performing arts including a new projector for the Meng Concert Hall. I am the college’s liaison for the Visual Arts Modernization project including the construction of two new buildings and renovations of two existing buildings. I oversee the planning and effective use of instructional, office and support space, including facility management.I supervise forty-five staff members, and oversee staff hiring. I oversee the annual staff evaluation process as well as the Working Personnel Action Files for 175 Part Time Lecturers. I serve on the Petitions Committee, GE Task Force, and the Concerted Activity Committee. I am also on the Convocation Committee, and Commencement Committee. I oversee course enrollments, and the college’s admission process including strategic enrollment management. I created panels focused on diverse communities in the arts. These panels included alumni and guest artists who shared their professional experiences with our students. As part of the Student Success Team, I support students by creating a welcoming sense of belonging through student orientations and workshops, provide equitable advising, and contribute to closing the equity gap through targeted initiatives. I am responsible for removing barriers for the College of the Arts students. Academic holds have been a major obstacle for many students. My work on the WICHE No Holding Back committee led to the reduction of the College of the Arts student holds per semester from over 3,000 to under 500. With the reduction of holds students have a greater success rate to degree completion. I serve as the college’s assessment officer.
