Vice Chancellor John Bernhard s office of Administration and Finance collated the extensive and detailed material on resources. Associate Vice Chancellor Danny Martinez and his staff ably provided important material on student services and programs. Associate Vice Chancellor Fernie Baca and Dorothy Yates, the Director of Sponsored Programs, collated and explained the information on external funding. Assistant Vice Chancellor Mary Lou Fenili helped me with much strategic advice about accreditation generally, and with specific material about our learning outcomes processes. Much of the material for this self study came from the individual colleges and schools.
Administrative support is essential in such a large and comprehensive project.
Kathy Roben in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance worked ceaselessly in managing many critical aspects of this project, from editing drafts to organizing the materials for the resource room. Annette Beck in Academic and Student Affairs helped with many details surrounding the site visit itself. And Andy Jhanji, the Executive Assistant to the Chancellor, provided good advice and served as an effective liason to many people involved in the process. This is the first time that I have managed an NCA accreditation visit. All three helped me think strategically about the institution and the accreditation process, and helped me catch potential mis-steps before they happened.
