I am writing with a follow-up to the announcement of Associate Dean, Sheila Riley-Callahan’s retirement and to share our interim plan, which we believe will minimize disruption and allow for continuity of support for students and our teams as we enter the Fall semester.

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Tara Krch as the Interim Associate Dean of Academic Services providing leadership for the Centers for Learning, Advising and Student Success (CLASS) which includes professional advising, tutoring, success coaching and the testing centers. Tara was currently serving as the Executive Director of the Solution Center. Tara brings a wealth of experience in leading integrated centers and teams as well as with advising. As a current member of the Academic Services Leadership Team, she is well-versed in our institution's goals and values and our collaborative team approach to our collective work. I am confident that she will bring valuable insights and appreciate her willingness to step into this interim role.

During this time, Angela Glaude and Stacey Felix, both Associate Directors of the Solution Center, will take on the roles of Interim Co-Directors of the Solution Center. Angela and Stacey's combined expertise and current leadership roles will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to maintaining the high level of service our students and campus community relies upon. I am grateful to both Angela and Stacey for taking this role on.

Please join me in warmly welcoming Tara, Angela and Stacey in these interim leadership roles as kick off the 2023 fall semester.
