Candidate Questionnaires

Candidates were asked to limit their responses to 100 words. Responses have been lightly edited for grammar.

What is your short- and long-term vision for the El Paso Community College district, and how would you measure success? Diana Mooy: My short-term vision for El Paso Community College is to strengthen and expand community-centered learning opportunities, specifically, programs that invite adults back into the classroom not just for degrees or certifications, but for the love of learning. Whether it’s art, history, technology or language. In the long term, I envision EPCC as a hub where multigenerational learning thrives and where young children are introduced early to college pathways. Eduardo Mena: Did not respond.

What experience do you have with overseeing budgets or setting and implementing policy? Diana Mooy: As a former campus administrator, director and current associate superintendent, handling budgets is a routine progress. Eduardo Mena: Did not respond.

What is your approach to balancing budget priorities, such as faculty pay, infrastructure, and student services? Diana Mooy: As a trustee my approach would be to balance budget priorities beginning with the understanding that every financial decision we make must ultimately support student success. Faculty pay, infrastructure and student services are not separate silos, rather they are interconnected investments that shape the quality of education and the student experience. To strike the right balance, I would advocate for a transparent, data-driven budgeting process that includes input from faculty, staff and students. I would prioritize spending that yields measurable outcomes in student achievement, equity and community engagement, while also planning responsibly for long-term sustainability. Eduardo Mena: Did not respond.
