Introducing Sandra Velez: New Director of Operations & Events
Dear Colleagues,
Sandra Velez is a seasoned professional with more than 20 years of experience in event curation and production. A proud graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, her international studies and hands-on experience managing events in renowned cities such as Paris, Milan, Rome, and Florence have cultivated a refined creative vision and a global perspective that enhance her work on every project.
Throughout her career, Sandra has successfully led high-profile events for various notable organizations, guiding each initiative from concept to execution. Her warm and approachable demeanor, combined with her exceptional creativity and organizational acumen, ensures the delivery of meaningful experiences that resonate with attendees long after the events conclude.
Sandra previously held a position at York College for three years, and she is excited to return as Director of Operations & Events, reporting directly to Eduardo Rios, Vice President for Finance & Administration, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Facilities Officer.
Sandra is tasked with providing strategic leadership for campus-wide programming while optimizing the use of the College’s facilities, including the identification of revenue-generating opportunities. Her leadership will play a vital role in positioning York College as an inviting venue for events, consistently upholding the highest standards of hospitality and excellence, and fostering confidence in the institution's future.
As part of these changes, Dan Matte, Ph.D, is transitioning from the Office of Finance & Administration to Property Specialist in the Asset Management department of the Budget and Planning Office.
