Dear Colleagues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am writing to share that Shelley Pressley will be stepping down from her role as Associate Dean for Student Success at the end of June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past eight years, Shelley has provided thoughtful and dedicated leadership, and it has been a privilege to work alongside her in advancing the mission of Voiland College. Her impact has been both meaningful and lasting. She has played a central role in strengthening our student success efforts, with a particular focus on fostering a strong sense of belonging, enhancing recruitment, and improving retention across our programs. Through her leadership, she has helped shape a more supportive and inclusive environment for our students, and her contributions will continue to benefit the college well into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please join me in thanking Shelley for her outstanding service and in wishing her all the best in her next chapter. She leaves behind a strong foundation and a team well positioned for continued success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partha<\/p>\n\n\n\n
