Virginia M. da Costa


Department: Art

As an assistant art history professor in the Art Department, I am interested in supporting and promoting sound changes in the curriculum and policies currently in effect at West Chester University. In my third year here at WCU, I have served on the University Festival Committee, and currently serve on the CAS Recruitment Committee as well as the CAS Outstanding Student Committee. I also participated in a subcommittee dedicated to the interdisciplinary segment of the General Education Committee. Additionally, I am a participating member of the Learning Community. My interest is in having our academic curriculum foster the kind of students who will spend their years at WCU as valuable members of their respective departments, university and the community. Many relevant issues have come to light while I have been here: recruitment and retention of minority students, special programs for disabled students and focusing on our high value students - those who volunteer, work and participate in university programs as well as academics. I am committed to the welfare of our students not only in the Art Department but the general university population as many of the art history courses I teach fulfill general education requirements as well as multiculturalism and diversity. I believe that the arts add to a fully developed curriculum and I have contributed as guest speaker or contributor for several professors. Thank you for considering my nomination.

Department: English

As a newcomer to WCU, I will bring a new perspective to addressing issues of academic freedom and responsibility. I would also support changes to strengthen the curriculum and improve faculty working conditions. I have served in the Faculty Senate at other universities and believe I can make a difference here at WCU. Also, as a former education writer for major newspapers, I believe I have a better understanding of the major issues in higher education. I would be honored to serve and respectfully ask your support.
