Peirce College is honored to have such a passionate and committed leader focused not only on fulfilling the College’s mission but on supporting the diverse workforce needs of the City of Philadelphia. This nomination affirms both Peirce’s investment in this critical work as well as Uva’s steadfast dedication.At Peirce College, we understand the importance of making quality education accessible, student-centric, and workforce relevant. Since we opened our doors to veterans and women in 1865, we have built a legacy of inclusion. Today, our commitment to access and inclusion is also expressed through our focus on socioeconomic mobility. And we are aware that we can amplify the scope of our work by finding better ways of serving our students—meeting them exactly where they are.
We continue to search for better ways to address the needs of our students. From our unique partnerships with Year Up, Deliverance Evangelistic Church, and Comcast Internet Essentials, to our innovative delivery models like Peirce Fit® and CBE, to our expansive network of corporate and institutional partners, at Peirce College, we are focused on holistically addressing students’ needs in creative and collaborative ways. And we’re just getting started.
