Below are a few endorsements by people who have worked with Pat in recent years:
"I have had the honor of working with and for Pat in a variety of capacities over the past five years, and have relished every moment of it! Pat has an inexplicable way of recognizing talent and potential in people and then pushing them to realize it themselves. She does this by sharing the wealth of knowledge she has about distance education, online teaching and learning, and higher education as a whole. She understands and respects the faculty and staff she works with, and works hard as an administrator to support and advocate for them. I can honestly say, I would not be the person I am today, or experienced success as I have without Pat's guidance and influence. I would recommend Pat without a second thought." Anna Stirling, Instructional Designer
"Pat is one of the California leaders in Distance Education and has been for a number of years. She is the "go to" person on all matters relating to Distance Education including staff development, course evaluation, administration, regulations both federal and state, and course design. Her genius lead to the creation of the @One Online Instructor Certification program. This program now has over 400 instructors in from all over the US. Beyond her expertise in Distance Education, Pat is skilled in developing leaders and also in interpersonal communication and collaboration. She is one of the best leaders that I have ever worked with in my 30 year career. I worked with Pat for over five years and she has my whole-hearted endorsement. If you have any questions I would be pleased to address them. " William Doherty, past Director, @ONE
"Pat is wonderful to work with! She is a leader as well as a team player, doing what it takes to get the job done with professionalism, flexibility, and dedication. She's respected, admired, and is a knowledgeable, experienced, and valuable member of any project." Tiffiny Hickey, 3CMedia Solutions
"Since technology is constantly changing, distance education requires leadership that stays on top of the changes and, more, understands how to direct and manage the evolving tools for the benefit of the student. Pat James Hanz is that leader. She is an expert at all aspects of program and curriculum creation, teacher training, and technology aided learning (e-learning, blended and fully online). Her approach is innovative but rooted in pedagogy and she has been acknowledged by the state Chancellor's Office as one of the true assets of our very large, statewide system. She has been tried and tested at every level of distance education administration and she has excelled in all cases. Valuable as a team member and as a team leader, Pat James Hanz is highly recommended." Sandoval Chagoya, California Virtual Campus
"Pat possesses a strong combination of strategic and tactical knowledge that allows her to identify challenges and solutions quickly and realistically. She has the smarts, the energy, and the connections to help you make positive change quickly." James Glapa-Grossklag, Dean, College of the Canyons
"As coordinator for Cabrillo College's distance education program, and past representative on various statewide distance education committees, I highly recommend Pat James Hanz for anything related to distance learning. She has provided great leadership for the California Community Colleges, and brought recognition to her own college for her outstanding work in distance education. Pat can be counted as a high impact person for advocating for quality instruction in distance education, enhancing the student learning experience, and providing her expertise to colleges who want to learn how to build a program the right way. She's a leader, a mentor, and all around a wonderful person to work with." Francine Van Meter, Cabrillo College
