BIO
Henry Ingle holds the position of Vice Chancellor with the San Diego Community College District (SDCCD) in San Diego, California.
As Vice Chancellor, he serves as the chief academic officer for the District's multi-college campus sites serving the varied educational and training needs of over 125,000 students in the socio-economically and culturally diverse region of southern California. The SDCCD is the second largest community college district in California and the sixth largest in the nation. Dr. Ingle joined the San Diego Community College system after spending twelve years as a tenured professor of communication and progressively more responsible academic affairs administrative positions at the University of Texas at El Paso, a comprehensive four year, doctoral extensive Hispanic-serving institution, where he developed the award-winning online distance education program at the campus in conjunction with the statewide University of Texas System virtual college, the UT Tele-Campus, and also spearheaded a number of international education programs focused on U.S.-Mexico initiatives.
In his present position at San Diego, Dr. Ingle serves as a key member of the Chancellor's Cabinet and the District Governance Council overseeing a staff consisting of seven senior managers and 38 technical and support staff members with a multi-million dollar budget of both state funded and extramural philanthropic, private sector and related grants and contractual resources.
In his office of Instruction, Planning and Technology, he provides leadership for the following working units: (1) Curriculum and Instruction, which oversees all of the District programs of study, degrees, courses, accreditation requirements and national and state regulatory provisions, including transfer and articulation agreements to four year institutions and the award of associates degrees; (2) Online and Distributed Learning Technologies, which annually works with the District campuses in the design, development and delivery of over 2,000 hybrid and fully-delivered web-based online courses, including the management of the technology course platforms, faculty development and training, program evaluation and assessment, and policies, procedures and best practices; and (3) Strategic Planning, Program Assessment and Policy Analysis, which is evolving to become the District's focal point for planning for future growth and development; (4) the Grants, Contracts and Institutional Advancement unit, which is newly constituted to guide the District's efforts in securing external philanthropic, public and private sector grants, contracts and funding resources; (5) International Education and United States-Mexico Trans-border initiatives which includes a Ford Foundation-American Council on Education program to integrate global and international perspectives into the curriculum and the launching of new study abroad efforts with other academic institutions in the region; and (6) the School to College and Career Pathways programs of the Workforce and Economic Development unit which includes occupational, vocational, apprentice and business contract education projects with the business sector.
Prior to assuming his present duties with the San Diego Community College District in 2005, Dr. Ingle's professional career included assignments in Washington, D.C. in the private sector and as an executive with the Federal government, as well as international assignments with the major international development and humanitarian aid agencies (including UNESCO, the OAS, the Word Bank, the U. S. Agency for International Development, and the Bureau for Educational and Cultural Affairs at the United States Department of State), and in both the private and public higher education sectors across California and Texas.
Most recently, he served for twelve years in varied and progressively more responsible administrative and academic leadership roles, which included the positions of Associate Provost/VicePresident for Academic Affairs, Assistant Vice President for Technology Planning and Development, Director of the Office of Technology Planning and Distance Learning, Program Advisor to the Provost, and Professor and Chair of the Department of Communication in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at El Paso, one of the 15 campus components forming the University of Texas system of higher education. Concurrent with his administrative responsibilities, he was an active member of the faculty with scholarly publications, research and creative works in his fields of expertise; and he designed, developed and taught on an ongoing basis three, fully-delivered online web-based courses in the areas of technology planning and telecommunications, cross-cultural communication, international development and global education, and educational program evaluation and assessment. He also served at the Chancellor's level with the University of Texas System's online Tele-Campus programs and advisory committees with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and he held research scholar appointments with the Center for Inter-American and Border Studies at UTEP.
Dr. Ingle completed his Ph.D. at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California with interdisciplinary specialization in the fields of education and communication focusing on the diffusion of educational innovation, communication media and technology, international and cross-cultural communication, and educational research, evaluation, and assessment. He holds an undergraduate degree in Mass Media and Communication from Texas Western College (now the University of Texas at El Paso), and a Master of Science in Educational Communications from the Newhouse School of Communication at Syracuse University in New York. His scholarly and professional work has been anchored in the application and use of a variety of telecommunications technologies and communication media with culturally diverse and non-traditional student populations in developing regions of the world and along the United States-Mexico border region.
