Dr. Endrijonas also drew on her expertise from her previous role as Career and Technical Dean at SBCC. During this tenure, she oversaw 28 departments, demonstrating her capacity to lead diverse educational programs successfully. Her leadership in this role set the stage for significant advancements in vocational and technical education at the college, benefiting countless students.

With a rich background in academic leadership and a vision for inclusivity, she’s steering SBCC toward a bright future. Fun fact: her dissertation explored 1940s-60s cookbooks, showing her unique perspective on culture and education!

Her leadership reflects a deep commitment to empowering students and addressing local needs. It was a privilege to hear her insights and connect with others passionate about education and our community.
