As Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, she is charged with facilitating and supporting the Academic Affairs agenda in a wide array of strategic, academic, and budgetary planning and decision-making activities. Specific areas of focus include coordinating and supporting the strategic agenda of the new Campus Leadership Team (as outlined in the Chancellor's plenary, this expanded senior management team will include Vice Chancellors, Deans, the Director of UWM Libraries, the Chief Information Officer, and the Academic Staff Committee and University Committee Chairs), participating in academic planning and working on specific follow-up projects which will unfold from the master plan, assisting in enrollment management, retention, and diversity initiatives, and facilitating campus-wide professional development program planning.
In her former positions as Deputy Vice President and University Dean of Student Affairs and Associate Vice President/Senior Advisor for Academic Initiatives at Arizona State University, Patricia oversaw a number of retention initiatives and was responsible for engaging academic units in enrollment, retention, and academic program planning and implementation. She holds an Ed.D. in Counseling Psychology from Boston University, and she has a national reputation as a scholar of multicultural counseling.
