Tyndall joined CWC in August of 2015 as the vice president of academic affairs.
“Dr. Tyndall has a great temperament, understands community colleges, and has demonstrated his leadership ability for the past year,” said Cris Valdez, president. “Brad has all of the qualities that the Board of Trustees and the college are looking for and I wish him the best of luck.”
Dr. Crane referred to Tyndall’s “impressive resume” which includes 16 years as a chief academic officer in Colorado, New Mexico, Missouri and Wyoming, 12 years of presidential cabinet experience, 12 years serving on state-wide academic councils and seven years of foundation board experience. In addition to leadership experience, Tyndall was a Fulbright Scholar in Kenya, is proficient in multiple language including French, Arabic and spoken Ethiopian, and has more than 12 years of High Learning Commission accreditation. He has extensive experience in academic and student affairs, workforce development, dual and concurrent enrollment and institutional effectiveness.
“I hope the staff knows that we want to support an environment of security that allows them to continue the hard work they are doing,” said Nicole Schoening, board trustee. Trustee Mickey Douglas said many of the comments she received were positive for Dr. Tyndall and most came from employees.
Following the vote and comments from the Board, Dr. Tyndall addressed the Board. “I am truly very excited and honored by this opportunity. There are a lot of great things to continue. We will set new heights and continue the course toward student success. I am thankful to the Board of Trustees for believing in me and giving me this opportunity,” Tyndall said.
