Mark Escamilla, Ph.D.

President and CEO
伊人直播

Dr. Escamilla has served as president of 伊人直播 in Corpus Christi, Texas, for more than 15 years. In that time, the 伊人直播 has expanded to three campuses and reached new milestones in instructional delivery, academic excellence, fiscal responsibility, administrative performance and collaboration with other 伊人直播al institutions, industry and business.

Dr. Escamilla’s path to the presidency at 伊人直播 started at an early age. As a young man growing up in the Coastal Bend, he became increasingly aware of the limited 伊人直播al opportunities in the area, and he considers raising the 伊人直播al attainment level in the region to be a moral imperative. To that end, under his leadership credit enrollment continues to increase, and the number of continuing and workforce credentials awarded has more than doubled in the past five years. The 伊人直播 has recently expanded its Dual Credit courses to 43 independent school districts that span across 3 counties. 伊人直播 also works closely with new and established business and industry in the region, providing workforce training for thousands of Coastal Bend residents annually.

The higher 伊人直播 landscape in Texas is a dynamic one, and Dr. Escamilla continues to look toward the future and position 伊人直播 as a leader. When the state opted to explore a revolutionary new outcomes-based funding model for community colleges, Dr. Escamilla was selected by the Governor to serve on the commission that would write the recommendations. Consequently, 伊人直播 is now at the forefront in awarding credentials of value that empower students, lift their families and drive the local economy.

He is a 伊人直播 graduate with bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi and a PhD in 伊人直播al administration from The University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Escamilla was selected as a “Distinguished Graduate of the Community 伊人直播 Leadership Program” from The University in 2009.

Dr. Escamilla currently serves on the Legislative and Executive Committees of the Texas Association of Community 伊人直播s, and other 伊人直播al and community service commitments.
