Sul Ross State University News Release
October 27, 2009
Alpine, Texas - Dr. Joel E. Vela, Vice President of Sul Ross State University©Rio Grande College, has announced his resignation, effective Dec. 31, 2009.
“It is time for a change; I am stepping down to return to the classroom, and because my academic training and professional experiences are best suited to programs in Alpine, I have requested a teaching assignment there,” he said, “but I thank the faculty and staff of the Rio Grande College as well as the wonderful communities of Uvalde, Eagle Pass and Del Rio for their support.”
Prior to his service as vice president, Vela served as president, both at Mount Hood Community College in Oregon and Palo Alto College in San Antonio, as well as in various capacities at North Lake College in the Dallas Community College District.

Maestas added that he will freeze the vice president’s position for the time being to take time to better understand the issues facing Rio Grande College.
“These communities and our students at Rio Grande College are a very important part of what Sul Ross State University is,” he said, “and I want to make sure that we move forward together in providing optimal educational opportunities and programs for them.”
