I am an advocate for the liberal arts and a champion for the college’s significant contributions in the digital, performing, and visual arts, both on campus and in the community. I am an energetic leader who believes in the value of a liberal arts education in creating engaged citizens who innovatively respond to the challenges of the 21st century. I strive to effectively communicate the value of such an education to a broad constituency. I possess strong scholarly credentials and a record of commitment to teaching and learning; I am proactive in community building, fundraising, and cultivation of alumni relations. I embrace a central tenet of UCF: to be known for whom we include, rather than whom we exclude. I pursue meaningful ways to support learning, retention, and graduation of all students. I have a great appreciation for the value of a rich and diverse environment that extends to faculty, staff, programs, policies, community engagement, and new initiatives. Serving 5,000+ undergraduate students and over 500 graduate students, with approximately 300 faculty and 90 staff, I am seeking ways to develop and enhance programs of excellence that are recognized for their academic quality, creative output, economic impact and cultural contributions to the campus and greater Central Florida community.
