“I am delighted to have Dr. Rodicio joining our DAC,” said Quelch. “She knows Miami, she knows higher education and she knows how to deliver access, educational opportunity and positive learning outcomes to students from diverse backgrounds.”
Most of Rodicio’s work has focused on student access, success and achievement, the recruitment of underserved populations to the STEM fields, increased access to liberal education for all students and the continuous improvement of the teaching and learning process.
Her transformational work in student success and achievement has led to significant improvements in retention and graduation, and earned Miami Dade College the 2019 Aspen Award for Community College Excellence. Additionally, her leadership in developmental education resulted in one of the most successful mathematics redesign processes in the country.
“The DAC is extremely pleased and fortunate to have Dr. Rodicio joining us,” said Jose Rodriguez, DAC Chairman and Partner in Charge & Executive Director at KPMG's Audit Committee Institute. “Her leadership in higher education will significantly add to the robust skillset of the committee.”
