excellence in student service. I also see great opportunity to
incorporate essential skills, such as technology, data and
measurement, into our critical thinking curriculum," she said.
Lynn celebrated 10 years of its core
curriculum this year, and Carter-Tellison is working with faculty
to evaluate the program and identify new opportunities for the
future.

staff. I look forward to working alongside her as we
continue to provide an innovative, global and personalized
