Dr. Vincent Castano, dean of Institutional Effectiveness at Fayetteville Technical Community College, has been selected to serve on the Association for Institutional Research Board of Directors.
AIR has a mission to empower higher education professionals to use data, information and analytics in ways that are effective, ethical and impactful. AIR Executive Director and CEO Dr. Christine M. Keller, in a letter announcing Castano’s selection, called the achievement a reflection of the respect and confidence that Castano has earned from his peers and colleagues in higher education.
“Board members engage in high-level and future-focused discussions on governance, emerging practices, and policy developments while building expansive networks and strengthening their leadership and communication skills,” Keller wrote. “Vincent’s participation on the Board positions him — and by extension, Fayetteville Technical Community College — at the forefront of conversations around data-informed decision making in higher education.”
Castano joined FTCC in January 2010 and has over 20 years of experience working for the North Carolina Community College System in a variety of capacities. In addition to his role as Dean of Institutional Effectiveness at FTCC, he has served as a consultant for other community colleges, universities and governmental agencies regarding data analysis in conjunction with training other institutional researchers in completing federally mandated reports as an Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) trainer with AIR.
