Diana Higashi
I have been a member of the Sierra College Community for 20 years, 14 years as part-time and 6 years as the sole full-time instructor and department chair in the Fashion Industries program. As the only full-time instructor in my program, I handle all scheduling, budgets, curriculum review, part-time evaluations, and program review. As department representative of a CTE program, I attend the meetings and participate in community outreach, as well as work closely with our counselors and internship program coordinators. I am currently serving on the EEO Advisory Committee, Equity Task Force, and I am the VAPA Faculty Liaison for the Interest Area Committee. I am also currently serving on a tenure committee and have been on multiple hiring committees. I feel that my varied experiences on our campus along with my ability to work with others collaboratively, makes me a good candidate for SCFA Rep Council.
