“I’m honored to serve the Commonwealth of Virginia as a citizen member for the network, whose purpose is providing a means for individuals to earn degrees and postsecondary education credentials by improving the quality of pathways and expanding access through online learning,” said Patrick.
Susan is the former Director of the Office of Educational Technology at the U.S. Department of Education and served as legislative liaison for Governor Hull from Arizona. She also served as a legislative staff member on Capitol Hill.
