About Dr. Maria Sinkule
As a middle school social worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, Maria understands the transformative power of listening. She is committed to fostering inclusive dialogue, valuing diverse perspectives, and embracing constructive feedback.
Maria believes we have a responsibility—to ourselves and to future generations—to advocate for governance that is affordable, accessible, and rooted in equity.
Equity
We must continue to build and strengthen equitable pathways to graduation for all students, ensuring that every learner has the support and opportunities they need to succeed. Additionally, it's crucial that we prioritize the hiring of diverse staff to reflect the communities we serve and foster an inclusive, representative educational environment.
Enrollment
During a recent tour of COD, I observed the critical need to expand learning spaces as enrollment continues to fluctuate. It’s essential that we not only plan for this expansion but do so in a way that is fiscally responsible, ensuring we have the resources to support this growth. At the same time, we must prioritize hiring additional faculty to maintain high-quality instruction and meet the needs of our students as we evolve.
