His most recent position was chancellor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abington.psu.edu\/\">The Pennsylvania State University\u2013Abington College<\/a>. Since 2016, Fern\u00e1ndez was instrumental in crafting the school\u2019s strategic plan, expanding the faculty, launching three new degree programs and opening the school\u2019s first residence hall.<\/p>\n<p>Months before his official start at Eckerd, Fern\u00e1ndez began collaborating with President Emeritus Donald R. Eastman III, executive staff and trustees to address the challenges brought on by a pandemic and public health crisis that shuttered campuses across the country and forced educators to think differently about how they deliver information. Those talks and plans became the <a href=\"\/my\/together\/\"><em>Eckerd Together<\/em> initiative<\/a>, which strives to deliver the high-impact in-person experience Eckerd College is known for while adjusting to the realities of communal living during the pandemic.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;64&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;32&#8243; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;padding-5-percent&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;right&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;6273&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; img_link_large=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;16&#8243;][vc_column_text]<em>Dr. Fern\u00e1ndez chats with students on the Environmental Studies patio by Fox Pond.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;32&#8243; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;padding-5-percent&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;right&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]The new president also announced that he will highlight interdisciplinary initiatives, to address the complex issues of our times, and will prioritize diversity, inclusion and belonging at Eckerd, as a nod to his belief that providing marginalized groups access to education is the best way to build personal and professional attainment that will ultimately strengthen the nation. Considered a thought leader on the importance of diversity in higher education, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.higheredtoday.org\/2020\/02\/03\/lets-talk-race-interview-damian-fernandez\/\">Fern\u00e1ndez was quoted by Higher Education Today<\/a> in February about his commitment to advancing equity. \u201cIf you want to be an inclusive campus, you must lead inclusively. That means bringing students in, putting resources on the table, building the scaffolding necessary and hiring faculty of color. It can be done, but it requires presidents to reengineer part of the institution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning in July, Eckerd <a href=\"\/president\/bot\/\">trustees<\/a>, faculty, staff, students and <a href=\"\/alumni\/\">alumni<\/a> volunteer groups will receive surveys aimed at deciphering the priorities of the community and ideas of advancing the institution. Fern\u00e1ndez will begin listening sessions with groups on-campus during the Fall Semester with plans to use all the feedback to create a strategic plan for the College.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Active engagement with your college is what inspires and generates institutional growth,&#8221;
