Another Post for Padrón

Eduardo J. Padrón keeps a busy schedule. The president of Miami Dade College (Fla.) recently was appointed as chair of the Association of American Colleges and Universities (see the Behind the News section of University Business magazine's March issue), becoming the first Hispanic, Floridian and community college president to do so.
Padrón also belongs to a number of boards, including the American Council on Education and the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education, and sits on the advisory board for the Holocaust Documentation and Education Center and the board of trustees of Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
Now, he has been appointed to another post. According to a media release, Padrón has joined the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s Miami Branch to fill an unexpired term that will conclude at the end of this year.
Padrón joined Miami Dade College’s faculty in 1971 and served in various roles including assistant professor, director and academic dean before being appointed president in 1995. He started his college education at Miami Dade.
