In addition, I have been an administrator and adjunct faculty at Pima Community College (Tucson, Arizona), which is the fourth largest multi-campus community college in the United States. From 1990-1994, I was the Director of Curriculum Services, responsible for coordinating the collegewide review and approval process for all credit-bearing curriculum and providing training to faculty in instructional design, vocational program feasibility studies, transfer and vocational course and program development. During this time, I also worked as adjunct faculty, teaching in the management department of the college.
