About the Speakers

Krista L. Newkirk, J.D. 12th president of the University of Redlands

Now in her second academic year at the University of Redlands, President Newkirk continues to enhance the Redlands experience. She oversaw the launch of the School of Business & Society, the new School of Performing Arts, and most recently, the University’s merger with San Franciscobased Presidio Graduate School, resulting in the new Presidio Center for Sustainable Solutions within the School of Business & Society.

With students as her priority, Newkirk continues to advance affordability and accessibility at the University through the Redlands Promise campaign and successfully guided the University’s comprehensive $200 million Forever Yours fundraising campaign to completion—raising a record-breaking $207.2 million.

Newkirk introduced a varsity esports program and continues to move the University Village project forward. She has also expanded campus innovation through the grand opening of the Fletcher Jones Innovation Center and maker space, completed the fundraising for and opened the Coach Jim Verdieck Tennis Center, and is leading the renovation of Anderson Hall, with plans to renovate the Truesdail Center, home to the University’s Communication Sciences and Disorders program. She has also prioritized campus-wide upgrades to increase safety and accessibility for the entire University community.

In addition, she completed the development of the University’s new student-focused strategic plan, which includes a new mission statement and vision to lead California in providing a student-focused, personalized education to drive student success. She is also focused on building upon the University’s designation as a Hispanic Serving Institution.

Newkirk currently serves on the Executive Committee of the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU), the Board and the Tax Policy Committee of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU), the Board of Redlands Bowl, and is a Redlands Rotarian. She frequently presents at conferences nationwide on the changes occurring in higher education.

Newkirk received her law degree from the College of William & Mary in Virginia and her bachelor’s degree from the University of Nebraska. She and her husband, W. Lewis (Lew) Glenn III, have two sons and two dogs.

Adrienne McCormick, Ph.D. Provost and Chief Academic Officer University of Redlands

Adrienne McCormick currently serves as provost and chief academic officer, as well as professor of English at the University of Redlands. Prior to joining the U of R in July 2022, Dr. McCormick served as provost and executive vice president for academic affairs and professor of English at Winthrop University, a public comprehensive institution with 5,000 students in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and served 20 years in the State University of New York (SUNY) system at two separate campuses. Her roles in SUNY included four years at SUNY Oswego as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and 16 years at SUNY Fredonia, where she served in various roles.

At Winthrop, she collaborated with faculty and academic and other campus leaders on a successful decennial review; the development of a quality enhancement plan on career readiness; the implementation of ACUE faculty professional development micro-credential resources; transfer partnerships, and pathways; and a comprehensive draft of an academic plan. She has extensive experience supporting strategic plan implementation; innovative new program development; community engagement initiatives; comprehensive internationalization; and development of implicit bias and DEIJ training programs for faculty, staff, and students. She has procured external funding to support bridge programs in mathematics for STEM students, and simulation labs for faculty research and instructional development.

A native of Michigan transplanted to Alabama at the age of seven, she completed her bachelor’s degree in English and dramatic arts and sciences at Queens University of Charlotte, in North Carolina, and her master’s degree in American literature, with a creative thesis in poetry, at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She completed her Ph.D. in literature and a graduate certificate in women’s studies at the University of Maryland, College Park. Her teaching interests include contemporary American and London-based poets, women’s literature, women filmmakers, and gender and women’s studies. She taught a study abroad course on mapping Englishness in London for more than a decade.

With her husband Brian Davis, Dr. McCormick has the joy of parenting two sons and two daughters – ages 11, 15, 18, and 21. In her personal time, Provost McCormick is an avid reader, sourdough bread baker, and yoga practitioner.

About the Speakers, continued

The Honorable James C. Ramos ’09

Assemblymember, 45 th District in the California State Assembly

Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters

Assemblymember James C. Ramos, a lifelong resident of the San Manuel Indian Reservation and member of the Serrano/Cahuilla tribe, became the first California Native American state lawmaker in 2018. He currently represents the 45th District, which includes the cities of Fontana, Highland, Mentone, Redlands, Rialto, and San Bernardino.

As a child, Ramos lived in one of the most poverty-stricken areas of the county. To help support his family while attending school, he worked in fast food restaurants and as a janitor in the San Bernardino City Unified School District. Recognizing the importance of education, he went on to receive an associate degree in business at Victor Valley College, a bachelor’s degree in accounting at California State University, San Bernardino, and an MBA at the University of Redlands.

Ramos’ commitment to public service led to a number of firsts: first Native American named to the California State Board of Education, the San Bernardino Community College Board of Trustees, and the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors. During his time on the County Board of Supervisors, he served as Board Chair from 2015-2017 where he oversaw America’s largest geographic county and served a community of nearly 2.2 million residents.

Ramos is former Chairman of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, with a deep commitment to the preservation of California Indian culture. He is also co-founder of the San Manuel Band’s Cultural Awareness Program, and serves as director of the California Indian Cultural Awareness Conference held annually at California State University, San Bernardino. James and his wife, Terri, have been married for more than 30 years, and are the proud parents of four children and grandparents of three grandchildren.

Cynjun Salinas ’17, ’22, ’23 Master of Science in Business Analytics

Student Commencement Speaker

Cynjun Salinas ’17, ’22, ’23 first came to the University of Redlands College of Arts & Sciences in the fall of 2015 as a transfer student after earning his associate’s degree and commission as an engineer officer in the United States Army. He immediately found himself immersed in the Redlands experience, where he was engaged in many facets of student life from ASUR (student government) to the Redlands Dance Company, to Greek Life. Additionally, while studying for his bachelor’s degree, Cynjun served as a platoon leader in the California Army National Guard for the 315th Vertical Construction Company in Riverside, California.

After earning his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a second major in economics in 2017, he continued his professional career in the Army as a finance officer, where he trained and prepared soldiers prior to their deployments. In 2022, after returning to the University, Cynjun completed his MBA, participating in some hallmark experiences such as the Global Consultancy in Spain. After observing the evolving business landscape around him and picking up a keen interest in data analytics, Cynjun decided to continue his education and enrolled in the Master of Science in Business Analytics program.

Cynjun’s professional career is squarely at the intersection of data, finance, and project management. He currently works as an assistant vice president of project management at The Capital Group, American Funds, where he defines the business strategy, project scope, and execution of enterprise wide data analytics and finance transformation initiatives. Cynjun is optimistic about the advancements that knowledge, data, and technology can bring to the world. He is extremely grateful to his professors and peers who have guided him through his education. He credits his parents, sister, and fiancé for being his support system as well as always believing in him.

O, that dear old U of R, Thy children near and far Will sing to thee and all thy glories tell; Where the orange blossoms grow, And the waters gently flow, That dear old U of R we love so well.

O, that dear old U of R, Whose emblem shines afar, Eternal as the hills we love so well; Where the mountains tall and grand Like an inspiration stand, That dear old U of R we love so well.

O, that dear old U of R, The years can never mar, The memories of thee we love so well; Where the friendships are so dear That we leave them with a tear That dear old U of R we love so well.
