Janice Quiroz Perez is the Director of the Engineering Career Center, effective November 1st. Janice served as the coordinator of constituent events with the college for nearly 10 years. During this time, Janice proved herself as an indispensable member of the Cullen College's staff, and was recognized for these efforts with a promotion to the position of development officer in September of 2013. In this role, Janice once again shined with her dedication to the job and her constant willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty. These are only some of the invaluable skill sets that Janice will bring to the table in her new role leading the Career Center. I look forward to seeing the continued success of our Career Center under Janice's leadership and want to invite you all to join me in congratulating her on this very important step in her career. Many congratulations, Janice!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Sincerely, <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Joseph W.
