The seat in the office of the vice president of academic<br />
affairs has found a new owner as Laramie County<br />
Community College added Dr. Jose Fierro to its staff.<br />
Fierro will move to LCCC from Jacksonville, Fla.,<br />
where he has lived and worked for the past nine years as<br />
an academic dean and director for the center of eLearning<br />
at Florida State College.<br />
During that time Fierro has worked with traditional,<br />
online and hybrid curriculum building as well as has<br />
taught biology, anatomy and physiology, public health<br />
and more.<br />
He said he is eager to apply his knowledge to improve<br />
distance learning opportunities at LCCC. Now that the<br />
divisions of career and technical education and business,<br />
agriculture and computer technology will be<br />
joined as the new school of business, agriculture and<br />
technical studies.<br />
President Dr. Joe Schaffer has said changes and<br />
reorganizations will take place. With the redefinition and<br />
amalgamation of two whole divisions comes the task<br />
of designing curriculum for both credit and noncredit<br />
programs respectively. This will be among the projects<br />
to tackle when Fierro joins the staff on Feb. 18. The new<br />
VP said he looked forward to joining LCCC, citing an<br />

eagerness to get to know the faculty, staff and student<br />
community and to find ways to fulfill his duties most effectively.<br />
He said he is very willing and open to listening<br />
to everyone about the needs and expectations of those<br />
involved and affected by the academic programs at the<br />
college.<br />
Fierro said he also looked forward to the recreational<br />
opportunities of the Cheyenne community and Rocky<br />
Mountain environment as a whole.<br />
“I’m looking into buying a mountain bike…very<br />
interested in trying that,” Fierro said.<br />
He enjoys endurance sports and is active in swimming,<br />
biking and trains heavily in running. Fierro also<br />
competes in triathlons.<br />
Though born in Madison, Wis., Fierro was raised in<br />
Bogota, the Columbian capital. He earned a doctorate in<br />
higher education leadership from Arizona’s Northcentral<br />
University and earned a master of science in management<br />
and administration of educational programs from<br />
Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.<br />
Planning to ease into his new role, Fierro said he believed<br />
showing up to a completely new college in a new<br />
community with too many predetermined plans is not<br />
constructive. Rather, he said he felt the job was first to<br />
learn as much as he could from actually being a part of<br />
the system, seeing where it works and doesn’t work, and<br />

During the search for a new VP, each<br />
candidate gave presentations to various<br />
groups on campus in early December.<br />
then bringing his personal knowledge and experience to<br />
bear in a cooperative effort. Fierro said he preferred “getting<br />
to know their ideas, bringing my ideas and making<br />
them our ideas.”<br />
