Casey Kendall

I am a US Navy veteran, a first gen, and non-traditional student. 

I have been in information technology in various capacities over the past 20 years. I feel my understanding of technology and complex systems can be helpful to the committee. But also the perspective that technology is not a substitute to interpersonal work, human to human work and in fact it can be is a distraction is something that I bring to the table. 

I was motivated to join the steering committee because I am inspired by our students, faculty, staff and administration. I felt a strong call to action, so to speak. I want to intimately hear from the campus of what they want to see for their future. I think being directly involved in these conversations will help us to better serve the college.

I want the strategic process to harness the strengths of our differences, better identify our identity as a college and help us to move forward toward common goals and purpose. I want this to unite us, to create synergies, and new energies. Another hope is learning something new about our students.
