New faces for 2012

With every year comes changes, and this year brought about a big one: four of our five majors have new directors!


Photo (L to R): Andrés Pardo is still head of the Education program, and Nicanor Cuba (Agronomy), María Esther Estévez (Ecotourism), Patricia Meneses (Veterinary Science) and Angelica Quisbert (Nursing) are new directors.

None of the new directors is a stranger to Carmen Pampa. Two of the new directors, Patricia and Angelica, are grads of the College. "It feels good to be a bigger part of the family at the College," says Angelica. "My parents passed away when I was in my second year of nursing school here, and this became my family. Teaching here opened doors for me, and now, as director of nursing, I can contribute even more."

Nicanor has taught at the College for years, and María Esther has taught here since 2009.

The outgoing directors oversaw incredible growth in their departments, with increasing numbers of students, and more qualified professors. At an evening gathering to say "gracias" for their service, former veterinary science director Martin said, "I wish all of you much luck. It won't always be easy. But you will grow tremendously, and find great satisfaction."
