What are your vision and goals for the SDSU
campus?
My #1 job is to continue to build on the
exceptional legacy that has made San Diego
State the world-class research institution
that it is. My vision is that faculty and staff
work together to graduate the global citizens,
compassionate leaders and ethical innovators
that will make an impact in the San Diego
community and the world at large.
To achieve this vision, we will need to:
Collaborate with faculty and deans to identify
and amplify areas of distinction
Expand our innovation and research capacity
for the Mission Valley expansion opportunity
Develop synergies for shared commitment
among our stakeholders
Expand the capacity of and access to the
SDSU Imperial Valley campus
Develop exemplary national, binational, and
international relationships
Ensure infrastructure can sustain the demands
and challenges of today and tomorrow’s
educational landscape
Commit to a process of transparent and timely
communication
Measure progress with a variety of metrics
Nurture a culture where we listen and engage in
productive dialogue
What advice would you give to other women
trying to succeed in their own careers?
Stay true to your core values, surround yourself
with mentors willing to help along the journey,
and allow the quality of your work speak for
itself—all of which has allowed me to stay
positive and on track despite the criticism that
will show up along the way.
