Her permanent appointment as Executive Director began on September 1, 2015. Garnsey-Harter has long worked with eLearning Services, led the Virtual Campus initiative and now supports Instructional Media as well.

“eLearning has a strong track record of supporting faculty in integrating best practices for teaching and learning in online, hybrid, and web-enhanced classes,” Garnsey-Harter said. “I look forward to applying a similar approach with faculty who teach face-to-face in our smart classrooms.”

For the Instructional Media group, an Instructional Media Director position is moving through the hiring process now and will report to Garnsey-Harter. Also, a Media Technician Senior position will also soon be filled. In addition, the Media Maintenance Technician 3 position held by Paul Fernandez moves to the new Division to fill out the Instructional Media group.

“The college will benefit from this integrated Division that is devoted to implementing instructional technologies in ways that strengthen student learning,” said Bob Francis, Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs.
