Dr. Tina Pitt was officially appointed Grossmont College Vice President, Academic Affairs in December, 2007, after serving as Interim for
one year.
Faculty and staff were stunningly amazed as they witnessed Dr. Pitt, along with other
members of the S(tudent) L(earning) O(utcomes) Response Team, cheer “Give me an S, Give
me an L, Give me an O…SLO” at the spring professional development meeting on January 22, 2008.
Other cheerleaders included Dr. Chris Hill, Academic Senate President and Chuck Passentino, Campus SLO Coordinator.
“I firmly believe in partnerships, and hope we can all work together toward the future
growth of our community and institution,” said Dr. Pitt. Participation in the cheer routine
is only one example of Dr. Pitt’s willingness to work together as part of a team with faculty
and staff. She has an open door policy and accommodates those who seek her help.
Dr. Pitt is not only open to working with diverse groups of people, but
she also has a very strong educational background and a diverse teaching experience.
