About me

I currently serve as the Vice President of Business Solutions for Bridgepoint Education. In my present role, I provide guidance to the company's ground based and online colleges to optimize their operations while staying within regulatory guidelines.

I have over 22 years of experience in the education industry. My experience encompasses virtually all aspects of the education business, including admissions, financial aid, academics, career services, and management of multi-campus operations. I’ve held senior level management positions at Career Education Corporation, MedVance Institute and the University of Phoenix (Apollo Group) as well as providing consulting services to a multitude of colleges and universities during my tenure with Campus Management Corporation.

My focus has been on campus start ups, regulatory compliance, process improvement, and operational oversight of multiple campus colleges, including international campuses. I recognize the challenges of working in a highly regulated environment that has grown more complex as companies have expanded operations, either organically or through acquisition, to include multiple regulatory bodies and governing oversight entities.

I hold a B.S. degree in Business from Arizona State University and an M.A. degree in Organizational Management from the University of Phoenix. I have completed the Apollo Group's Executive Development Program and the Career College Association's (now APSCU) Leadership Institute.

Russell - thanks for mentioning this as a means of a management control mechanism. Such policies can definitely assist in ensuring blocks from intentional or unintentional problems.
Carina - great example of a non-monetary incentive that could be meaningful to employees.
These steps are a great example not just of meeting the disclosure requirements but also of having cross checks in place across multiple departments to make sure nothing "falls thru the cracks". Thanks for sharing, David.
Thanks, Sharon, for your tip - 3 P's - to set the guideline for leading by example.

Alytrice - you bring up a great point that I hadn't thought of: how to provide good service to students being dropped that are no longer eligible to continue at your institution. I like the suggestion to refer them to a "neutral" source rather than specific schools and will be interested to see others' comments in response to your post.
Discussion Comment
I concur with the approach to reference specific catalog wording when "writing up" students for infractions to ensure consistency.
Discussion Comment
Winston - These areas seem to be common themes from this discussion item. It sounds as if advisement/coaching of students fall into these areas at multiple schools.
Discussion Comment
Delicia - I am happy to hear that schools hold students accountable for high standards. Attendance can be a critical component to learning.
Discussion Comment
Martha - it's great to hear of this level of commitment from your institution! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Eileen. I think students AND staff benefit by reviewing the catalog.
