We found some time last spring to have a conversation. I would love to shadow Angélica for a week or two and just learn how she manages a vibrant, exciting college and a healthy family life.

Trust your instincts and move forward as opportunities present themselves. 2. Trust your team 3. Inform your decisions with perspective from others – students, classified staff, faculty, the cabinet team 4. Stay grounded in data, research and the community you serve. 5.
