WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT QUINCY COLLEGE?

It is the people that I love - the interaction with - the people. It's the amazing administration that I work with, the highly qualified faculty I work for, and the students I can help with their academic aspirations, professional skills and personal needs. I started working at Quincy College in 1997 and can't believe how quickly time has gone by. The Quincy College campus is, to me, a family. A family with the same purpose: to be supportive in the educational offerings of excellence to all. I treat each student as though they are the most important person on campus; each person is!

WHAT IS YOUR PHILOSOPHY OF STUDENT DEVELOPMENT?

As someone who deals with students outside of the classroom, I believe Student Development is an ongoing process to serve our students with their needs, (as much as possible). I am thrilled to be working in academic affairs, being able to advise, inform, occasionally proctor an exam, and carefully give appropriate direction to students along the road in their educational journey. I believe in taking each student at their point of readiness, encouraging them, giving them there sources, offering the rigorous curriculum and cultivating the stage of development, improving their learning and critical thinking skills so they can achieve their (potential) best. It's exciting to be a part of and to watch the progress that's been made in student services - it's how we define the components of the standards for our mission, identifying areas of concern in student development, and then continuing to go in that direction, as well as so very many exciting things to do socially, that just seems to connect the entire campus and make Quincy College the fabulous college that it is.
