A message from our dean
Greetings! I hope everyone’s 2025 is off to a great start. It’s hard to believe we are already approaching mid-semester, with spring less than a month away…but here we are. I’d like to recognize all our winners from the recent Superior Accomplishment and CARE Award competitions. I’d like to thank several people from the college who helped with this program, specifically, Shannon Pettit, Wendy Mesa and Sheri Holloway, along with the many folks who wrote supportive nomination letters for their coworkers. I know I join our whole administrative team in saying I am honored to work with so many dedicated and caring professionals from every area of our mission.
