I have witnessed Cheri's commitment to our students' success and welfare. This commitment ranges from her leadership as Director of the RN-MSN program; her role in our Arizona Nursing Inclusive Excellent (ANIE) Program, and her tremendous efforts in coordinating this year's CCNE accreditation materials and visits. In all of these roles, Cheri has demonstrated an amazingly balanced blend of advocacy, leadership, organizational skill, insight, compassion, and intelligence. In every interaction Cheri and I have had, my respect for and trust in Cheri has been further strengthened because of her fair treatment of everyone present, which further encourages community and collaboration. These qualities are particularly necessary during acutely challenging times such as those we've experienced in 2020 with COVID-19 fallout; multiple accreditation processes; and the new growth toward equity, diversity, and inclusion that the College is undergoing.
