Subject: [Coehd] Welcome Dr. Pamela Ray!
Dear Colleagues,
Please join me in welcoming Dr. Pamela Ray, our new Child Development Center Director.
After an extensive search with a highly qualified candidate pool, the committee
unanimously recommended Dr. Ray for the position. Dr. Ray comes to us with vast
experience in early childhood education, having held positions of Department Chairperson
of Early Childhood and Family Studies and Director of the Early Childhood and Family
Studies Program at St. Phillips College. She holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Education,
with a concentration in Higher Education . Her research focuses on the following areas:
Early Care/Education and Family Support, Adult Education, Higher Education, Gender Studies
and Ethnic Diversity on College Campuses.
In her work at St. Phillips, Dr. Ray managed a nationally accredited Child Development
Center for seventy-five students ensuring licensing standards and all other contract
requirements were met, managed and scheduled staff, and maintained reporting standards.
and coordinated course offering contracts and agreements for high school students,
dual-credit, and Tech-Prep Programs. She has experience in educator preparation,
curriculum development, early childhood education and family studies, and program
accreditation.
In addition, she has served on a number of San Antonio area and regional boards and
committees, including the City of San Antonio PreK 4 SA Governing Board, District 2
Appointee , the Core Team for Financial Resources – College Reaffirmation (SACSCOC)
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, the Family Service
Association – Head Start/Early Head Start Policy Council, Community Representative , and
Commissioner, National Association for the Education of Young Children, Early Childhood
Commission on Associate Degrees.
Dr. Ray's combination of early childhood education and expertise, program management
and leadership ,the preparation of early childhood educators, and accreditation and
program development makes her an excellent leader for the UTSA CDC as we build on its
strong foundation to transform the center into a progressive, innovative place of
discovery and learning for the children of our students, faculty , and staff, and a
demonstration site for excellence in educator and other professional preparation.
I look forward to working with Dr. Ray and I know she will be a wonderful member of the
COEHD team!
Welcome Dr. Ray!
