Dear COEHD Faculty,

 

I hope you had a great break! I am very excited to be at the DT campus. Below are the hours I am in the office:

 

Monday-Friday from 8am – 5pm (I will be here until 5:30pm on the first day of classes, 1/21/20)

 

A work-study student will be hired to help with office coverage, and the administrative staff from the main campus will also begin to rotate being at the DT office in the near future.

 

Until we have more staff present, there are times when I will need to go to meetings or to the main campus and the office will be closed. For now, I will try to go to lunch from 12pm – 1pm until we have more coverage.

 

I hope having the DT office open again will help you better prepare for your classes and students.

 

We appreciate your patience as the office becomes fully operational again.

 

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

 

Thank you.

Subject: [Coehd] Happy New Year!

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

Happy New Year! I hope that you have had a restful time since the fall 2019 semester ended  and that you were able to get  an opportunity for some much needed time to re-charge.   I was fortunate enough to get to spend time in NY with my son, daughter-in law, one of my daughters, and my  7-month old and 3.5 year old grand babies as well as extended family. It was delightful to unplug and reconnect with family and see the world through the eyes of my grand sons.

 

I have news to share as we enter the Spring 2020 semester.

 

First, please join me in congratulating Monica Treviņo. Monica has accepted a position in the College of Science and will start there on January 20th. We will miss Monica and the excellent work that she has done while in COEHD, and I know I speak for all of us when I wish her all the best in her new position. I will be meeting with the VPREDKE in the next weeks to discuss  how to move forward after Monica's departure.

 

Second, as a result of Dr. Oliva's departure  and the need for a focus on the issues she was working on, we will be  redefining  Dr. Liliana Gutierrez' role to that of staff Assistant Dean for Academic and Faculty Affairs. Many of the things that Dr. Oliva was doing will fall under Liliana's scope, as well as other college level reports/work. Liliana will be moving to the DCT campus Dean's suite (taking over the shared office and we will be  identifying new space for Raitza) for a  beginning of the Spring semester regular presence. She will reach out to let you all know about  initiatives and office hours at the DTC. Also, please be sure to congratulate her on her recent graduation from ELPS and her successful completion of her Ph.D. program! 

 

Third, Earlene Gonzalez, the Child Development Center Director, is retiring at the end of January (congratulations!) . We have posted the CDC director position . If you know anyone qualified, please reach out to them.

Finally, we are finalizing the BSC tasks now that they have been moving towards  full operations, and  will be sending out a summary of  tasks, workflow, etc. 

 

Allison Baca, Eddie Alvarez, Nikki McGovern, and Kendall Smith have been doing an excellent job in taking the concept of the BSC and making it an operational reality. We still have processes and procedures to  establish and situate correctly, but we are off to a great start. 

 

I wish you all a restful weekend and a very good start to the spring semester! 

 

Warm regards,

Margo
