Welcome to the Division of Academic Affairs, which encompasses all the academic 和 instructional units across our university. As the Provost 和 Vice President for Academic Affairs, I extend warm greetings as we embark on another exciting academic year here at California State University, Dominguez Hills.

As Provost, I oversee all academic units, including our six colleges, the University Library, 和 various academic centers, institutes, 和 instructional programs. In my role as the chief academic officer, I work closely with the Academic Senate 和 other stakeholders to ensure excellence in teaching, scholarship, creative activities, 和 service across all faculty 和 academic programs. As a longtime member of the Toro family, I am deeply committed to our shared mission of enhancing student success 和 ensuring access for the underserved 和 diverse communities we serve.

I am honored to be part of this community because 基督教社会联盟DH embodies the core values of public higher education: a steadfast commitment to excellence 和 innovation, the development of strong university-community partnerships, 和, above all, ensuring student success at every level.

With great enthusiasm, I fully support the implementation of our Strategic Plan, Going Far Together. This plan is centered on five key themes: Thriving Students, Thriving Educators, Equitable Access, Culture of Care, 和 Pillar of the Community, 和 reflects our commitment to 和 pride in serving as a socially just, equitable, 和 inclusive model urban university.

We are excited to welcome our new staff, faculty, 和 administrators to our university team. As the Toro Nation continues to grow, I invite you to join our vibrant 和 dedicated community!
