About Ashley Faris
With over 14 years of experience in higher education, I lead the Chemistry Department at Mission College, bringing expertise in polymer chemistry and a deep commitment to equity-focused education. As a Department Chair and Faculty Lead, I strive to foster inclusive learning environments and champion innovative teaching practices that help close equity gaps. My mission aligns with Mission College\'s vision of empowering diverse communities by facilitating collaboration and driving meaningful change in the academic landscape. At Mission College, I oversee departmental operations, teach organic chemistry, and guide faculty in implementing equity-focused pedagogies through the Equity Pedagogy Community of Praxis. By facilitating workshops and designing multidisciplinary curricula, I enable teams to research and adopt effective strategies for equitable student success. My leadership extends to serving on the Academic Senate and advising the AGS Honor Society, further reflecting my dedication to academic excellence and community engagement.
