Below are photos of the people who make my work a
wonderful place to be. I appreciate their hard work, kindness, and
professionalism. Without the support of these individuals (whom I
also consider my friends), none of the achievements made in this
professional arena would have been possible.
Thanks, everyone!

College of
Engineering Admissions & Advising Center |
 Although I oversee the College of Engineering Admissions & Advising Center,
the work is done by many, specifically, my student Peer Advisors. Our Center
is responsible for the admissions/advising and outreach/recruitment of all prospective and
newly-admitted students. I'm grateful for the help I receive from my
student Peer Advisors. |

Engineering
Outreach |
 
Women Engineers @ the Beach
After
serving in the Peace Corps (and having been inspired by the experience
of poverty and gender inequity), I developed an outreach program to
encourage young women in the K-12 schools and city colleges to
explore and consider careers in engineering. The event has grown
considerably and now accommodates an attendance of 300-400 individuals
each semester. It is entirely funded by Engineering industry and
professional organizations and provides opportunity for empowerment for
both female participants/volunteers. |

Engineering
Recruitment |
 During
the academic year, I attend a number of events conducted by several
local area
community colleges, middle/high schools to promote the discipline of Engineering. |
|
ROAR
(Recruitment, Outreach, Advising & Retention) |
 
In an effort to identify and resolve issues that affect the recruitment
and retention of students, I developed the ROAR Support Group.
This group involves faculty, staff, and students of the College of
Engineering who volunteer their time to examine and develop
strategies to recruit and retain students. |

Other
Educational Event Participation |
 
I also participate
in educational outreach conducted by other institutions. Above, my
peer advisors help out with IVC's "Astounding Inventions". |
