Sheleta Camarda-Webb, an accomplished professional with a proven commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion, has worked on the California campus for nearly 30 years. This strategic appointment reflects the university’s commitment to increase support for student-centered initiatives focused on diversity, equity and inclusion at the California, Clarion, Edinboro and online campuses. 

“Student success, inclusivity, diversity and equity have been the focus of my career since I started at California in 1991,” Camarda-Webb said. “We understand that students excel academically when they sense value and inclusion. I am eager to continue developing, building, and implementing programs, plans and strategies that enhance the student experience at PennWest.”

Camarda-Webb has served as director of multicultural affairs and diversity education and as interim chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer, both at California. She also served as the assistant vice president for assessment and external relations in the DEI unit at PennWest.

“Sheleta brings a wealth of experiences in working with students on a daily basis in her positions within Student Affairs,” said Dr. R. Lorraine Bernotsky, interim president of PennWest. “She will advocate for all members of our campus communities as we continue to provide an environment where all students can feel valued and supported as they advance their education.”

Also at the meeting, Dr. James Fisher was appointed interim provost and vice president of Academic Affairs. He has a bachelor’s degree from Edinboro, a law degree from the College of William and Mary, and a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Most recently, Fisher served as senior associate provost for Academic Administration at PennWest. He succeeds Dr. Daniel Engstrom, who retired from the university in January.
