On the Cover: The theme “Inspiring Through Education” was submitted by Hector Zamora, a
faculty member in Criminal Justice at the Valle Verde Campus. The theme is based on the
opportunity that faculty have in sharing their life experiences, professional and personal, with
students as well as inspiring them to excel academically. Faculty have the opportunity to create
an environment that inspires students to prepare for a new or expanded career.

Office of the Vice-President of Instruction
Fall 2013
Dear Faculty,
As we prepare for the fall semester, it is an ideal time to think about the Faculty Development Week
theme, “Inspiring Through Education” which is an important reflection on the work we accomplish
together—faculty, administrators and staff—as a collaborative team at EPCC. As educators, we
have a unique opportunity to have a powerful impact on our students’ lives and make our
community a better place. Student engagement and completion remain our highest priorities as we
move into the new academic year.
This is a significant time for the Instructional Division. We have had many accomplishments and
we are building great momentum for the future. Over this past year, a number of developments
have helped to bolster our ability to inspire and educate. Recently we have completed important
steps for the reaffirmation of our accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). Once EPCC receives the final report, more details
will be shared. Another significant effort was the development of our new Core Curriculum. This
undertaking took more than a year and required the input and time of faculty from across all
disciplines working together on this critical process. Shortly, the Core Curriculum will be submitted
to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Once we hear their feedback, information will
be shared. Special thanks to those who helped with these two crucial endeavors, including the
Curriculum Committee and to all faculty and staff that assisted with these processes.
As we continue to make progress toward achieving student success, we are also strengthening our
reach in the community through our Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). For many semesters Grace
Haddox has successfully served as the QEP Liaison and built a strong foundation for this initiative.
Another area of notable progress is in the area of Student Success which has been directed by Irma
Camacho for many years. Irma has helped this department grow and it has flourished under her
leadership. Both Irma and Grace will be stepping down from their positions. Thanks to each of
them for their hard work and dedication. The recruitment process is underway for the Director of
QEP and Assessment and will begin shortly for the Director of Student Success.
Another accomplishment to acknowledge is our efforts to strengthen our ranks of full time faculty.
I am proud to say we have hired many new full time, tenure-track faculty who will help EPCC reach
its academic vision. Join me in welcoming these new faculty to our team. EPCC remains
committed to fostering an environment that will support each of you in your work. A new
semester is always exciting, it is a time for fresh ideas, exploring possibilities and finding new ways to
inspire others through education.
Best wishes for a productive and rewarding semester.
Sincerely,
Steven E. Smith
Interim Vice-President
