DeeDeeBober

My name is Delia (Dee Dee) Bober. Currently, I am the associate dean of liberal arts at Cuyahoga Community College (Western Campus) and also serving as the interim dean of academic affairs. Serving in the higher educational environment for eighteen years, I have worked in a variety of student and academic affairs roles in both private 4-year and public 2-year institutions, in suburban and urban settings. Prior to my career in higher education, I worked for six years as a marketing and advertising professional. Now, as a candidate for the PhD program in Higher Educational Administration, I am proud to say, that I have successfully completed my comprehensive exams and “I am finally living my 20 year dream of earning my Ph.D.!” I am confident that this course will set my course for my qualitative dissertation research on success factors for single mothers in the community college setting.

Personally, I am a single mother to two amazing girls, (14 years) and (16 years); and owner of an adorable Portuguese water dog. My hobbies include traveling, gourmet cooking, vegan cooking, running, reading and spending time with my family.

I look forward to learning with you this semester!
