Dear Riverbats, <\/p>\n
This week I assume the role of chancellor of Austin Community College District. I join you with a great sense of excitement and deep pride. I will spend the coming weeks and months visiting each of our campuses, and I hope to see you there. Your experience at ACC and your success here will be at the center of my decision-making.<\/p>\n
I was attracted to Austin Community College for many reasons, none more powerful than the commitment the faculty and staff here have for helping our students succeed. I hope this has been your experience to date.<\/p>\n
As we move forward, I promise to foster an inclusive, caring, and transparent environment. In order for us all to do our best work, I must lead with inclusivity, clarity, integrity, and transparency.<\/p>\n
In my first 100 days, I will host conversations at every campus and spend quality time with the unique communities that define ACC. We will talk about successes, opportunities, and share our experiences and ideas. As your chancellor, you can expect regular virtual Town Hall meetings directly with me to discuss what we are learning and how we are growing.<\/p>\n
There is much to learn, and I look forward to connecting with you. We developed a First 100 Days website<\/a> for you to use as a resource for information, schedules, and opportunities to join the conversation.<\/p>\n My leadership approach guides me by a singular principle \u2014 LOVE. Love for our institution, love for our mission, and, most importantly, love for our students, faculty, and staff.<\/p>\n I am excited to begin this work, and I look forward to connecting with you in the near future.<\/p>\n Much Love, Dear Riverbats, This week I assume the role of chancellor of Austin Community College District. I join you with a great sense of excitement and deep pride. I will spend the coming weeks and months … Continue reading
