OPINION: 'The board needs Theresa Riel. As a former educator, Theresa values the voices of students, the faculty and staff at the College, recognizing their unique role in improving the College,' write 18 former educators at Pima Community College.
The Pima Community College Board of Governors needs a new leader.
PCC has much to be proud of. It has enhanced its technical education programs, such as automotive and aviation. But simultaneously, the College has undermined its core university transfer programs. Last year, PCC eliminated over 15 degree concentrations including psychology, sociology, anthropology, history, political science, early childhood education and elementary education.
We need a board leader who understands that PCC will be stronger when it listens to the voices of the educators who are closest to the students. That responsive leader is Theresa Riel. The board needs Theresa Riel. As a former educator, Theresa values the voices of students, the faculty and staff at the College, recognizing their unique role in improving the College. As a mathematician, Theresa is a critical thinker and a problem solver. And, as an educator and neighborhood leader, Theresa honors different perspectives and works to find commonality.
