NEW YORK, NY, December 21, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ — Gloriana Waters, Vice Chancellor of Human Resources Management for CUNY, has been named Cambridge Who’s Who Specialist of the Year in Human Resources Management. Even though inclusion inside the Cambridge Who’s Who Registry is an honor, only a little selection of members in every single discipline are chosen for this distinction. These unique honorees are distinguished based on their expert accomplishments, academic achievements, leadership skills, years of service, and the credentials they’ve supplied in association with their Cambridge Who’s Who membership.

With much more than 30 years’ expertise working in greater education, Ms. Waters is regarded as an professional in public sector human resources.

A compassionate and knowledgeable individual, Ms. Waters has created numerous expert presentations, most notably at the Asian American (AAARI) Leadership Conference, CUNY Financial Management, and CUPA-HR annual conferences. Having started her career as a remedial reading teacher, she gathered several perspectives on market techniques, and implemented them in her subsequent responsibilities at a community college and two senior colleges. Ms. Waters’ willingness to take risks and assume new positions has furthered her career inside the educational system; she acquired roles such as deputy to the president, assistant towards the vice president of administration, budget analyst and GED counselor. Her persevering temperament is reflective of her intrigue in Mahatma Gandhi, whose strategies for remaining focused in light of daunting challenges have greatly impacted her work ethic.

In her most recent interview with Cambridge Who’s Who, Ms. Waters cited her appearance on the cover of Profit Magazine which recognized her role within the implementation of CUNYfirst, an enterprise-wide data system. She also described her critical decision-making involvement using the implementation team for CUNYfirst as a particularly gratifying expertise. With two master’s degrees in educational psychology and public administration, Ms. Waters not merely retains market expertise, but she is well versed by way of her schooling as well. She also holds a certification from the Institute for Educational Management at Harvard University.

Crediting her achievement towards the influence of her mentors, Ms. Waters is recognized as an Advisory Board member of TIAA-CREF, a Trustee of Cooperative Personnel Services and a Governing Body member of the 2010 New York HR Executive Leadership Summit. She maintains affiliation using the College and University Specialist Association for Human Resources and Society for Human Resource Management.
