Erika Cameron, who served for the past three years as provost at Palo Alto University, has been appointed 萨克拉门托 State’s new provost and senior vice president for 学术事务.

卡梅伦将于明年3月接替过去三年担任临时教务长的卡洛斯·内瓦雷斯（Carlos Nevarez）。 Upon Cameron’s arrival, Nevarez will become interim vice president for 研究 and Innovation, a new administrative position at the University that will 支持科研、创新和经济发展.

“Dr. Cameron is an accomplished academic leader with a proven track record of advancing academic excellence, supporting faculty development and fostering inclusive educational environments,” 囊状态 President Luke Wood wrote in a 向校园社区宣布她的任命.

自2021年以来，卡梅伦一直担任帕洛阿尔托大学（PAU）的教务长兼学术事务副校长，这是一所位于湾区的私立大学，专注于行为健康学科，包括咨询、心理学和社会工作。

在她的领导下，PAU获得了西班牙裔服务机构和亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民服务机构的称号，这也是Sac州立大学引以为豪的两项荣誉。 伍德说，她成功地领导了认证和教师成功倡议，并通过全面的课程审查程序加强了学术课程。

Cameron cited 囊状态’s “unwavering commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging” as a key reason for her interest in the University.

“That commitment resonates strongly with my values as an academic leader,” she said.

“President Wood’s bold vision for advancing academic excellence while maintaining our student-centered focus makes this an incredibly exciting time to join 囊状态.”

She also cited the University faculty’s dedication to innovative programs and emphasis on hands-on learning, both of which she said prepare students for an evolving workforce.

在她来到PAU之前，卡梅伦在圣地亚哥大学担任系主任和咨询副教授。

作为火奴鲁鲁人，她在伊利诺伊州布拉德利大学（Bradley University）获得了平面设计学士学位，同时还参加了一级排球比赛。 She received her master’s degree in guidance and counseling from the University of Hawaii, Manoa, and her Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision from the University of Missouri, St. Louis.

Cameron’s research interests have focused on multicultural counseling, with an emphasis on mental health and therapy. 她曾担任学校、职业和心理健康顾问，专门治疗经历过创伤的儿童。

At 囊状态, Cameron wants to help foster an environment “where innovative pedagogy and inclusive excellence thrive,” she said.

“By building on 囊状态’s strong foundation of inclusive excellence and working closely with our dedicated deans and faculty, I believe we will continue to be a catalyst for innovation and transformation across the 萨克拉门托 region and beyond.”
