Reynolds inaugurates new president: Dr. Paula P. Pando is all smiles after her inauguration last Friday as J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College’s fourth president. The ceremony, held at the Dewey Gottwald Center at the Science Museum of Virginia, carried the theme “Equity Through Action.” Dr. Pando, who immigrated with her family to the United States from Chile when she was young, was the first in her family to earn a college degree. She has worked in higher education for more than 20 years, beginning as director of campus activities and programs at Saint Peter’s University in Jersey City, N.J. She later joined Hudson County Community College in Jersey City and rose through the ranks, holding three different vice president positions. She was senior vice president for student and educational services there when she was chosen from among 102 applicants in a national search to lead J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College. The college serves more than 15,000 students annually on campuses in Richmond, Henrico and Goochland. (Regina H. Boone/Richmond Free Press)
