Bio
Edwin J. Hernandez
I had the pleasure of working with Lisa during my time at the University of Pittsburgh. During that time, I witnessed her great work in support of military-affiliated students. Lisa is a gifted professional who’s not only interested in the organization’s bottom line, but also in her students' professional growth and well-being. She is one of the most caring, innovative, and hardworking people I’ve had the pleasure to work with in higher education. In many situations, she has gone above and beyond in researching resources and collaboration opportunities with different regional partners in support of student success. Because of her advocacy mindset, she has been able to draw attention to the needs of all Pitt Greensburg military-affiliated students, and address their academic needs. In addition, as a School Certifying Official, she was extremely accurate, and constantly demonstrated her passion for veterans through her work. Needless to say, as a team member or a leader, Lisa earns my highest recommendation!
