A certain word keeps coming to Chanda Torres /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201998 /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201900MA /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201908EdD when she begins to describe where she/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019s been and where she is now: /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cIronically./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d Her work in student and academic affairs at 166su completes a series of so many ironies, or /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cfull-circle moments,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d that it begins to sound like maybe they aren/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019t happenstance but instead part of an incredibly perfect plan./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cWhat I/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019m doing today is another full-circle moment,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d she says about her current role as the assistant vice president of the Kenneth G. Dixon Career Development Center. /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cIt fits my passion for preparing students for life. Many of them remind me of myself, with similar challenges that I faced./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

Given only a narrow perspective of today, you/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019d never suspect Torres faced such challenges. You/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019d only see that Torres has three degrees from 166su, including a doctoral degree in education in curriculum and instruction. She helped imagine the office of Student Success and Well-Being for 166su Downtown. She/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019s been asked to share her expertise on student development at state and national conferences, earned awards for her exemplary practices, and can so easily articulate how 166su advanced the idea of /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cstudent success/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d from theory to proof that it/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019s easy to miss how this full circle began for her./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

Torres has never forgotten./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cMy motivation comes from my own story,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d says Torres, who also earned a bachelor/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019s in foreign language education and master/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019s in educational leadership from 166su./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cAs big as 166su is, it became my home. This is where I found mentors and people who helped me grow into what I am today. It/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019s why I/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019m here, 20-some years later, to make sure students have the support they need to graduate on time and discover their own passion to be successful./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

Before she knew what success as a student or as a leader meant, Torres had to overcome doubts. She struggled with a learning disability, which affected her academically and socially. The label on Chanda Torres the teenager said /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cat-risk student/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d and /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201clow-income family./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d She gravitated into theater to find a sense of belonging. To pull her credentials up to speed after high school, she muscled through classes at Brevard Community College. A few years later, driven partly by a desire to prove doubters wrong, she came to 166su to find her own way /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2014 a transfer student dropped off in a very new, very big place./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cIt was the best thing my parents could have done,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d Torres says. /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cAs big as 166su is, it became my home.

All of this tells us why the College of Community Innovation and Education honored Torres in 2023 as a Distinguished Alumni. She is also a big reason 166su has achieved a 90% freshman retention rate and increased our four-year graduation rate to 68.1%, which is up 18.1 percentage points in five years./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cTo have achieved success as a student despite my history,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d she says, /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cand then to be honored for the work I/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019m doing for other students, and now to play a role in 166su/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019s [qualification for] designation as a preeminent university, it all represents another full circle./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

Driven by Personal Experience to Serve Students/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

At the Dixon Career Development Center, Torres oversees services and programs that support students through every stage of their journey /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2014 from discovering career and advanced-degree options and gaining meaningful experience to preparing for and launching their next step. Through career education, employer connections, internships and other experiential learning opportunities, Dixon Career Development Center helps students build a future with confidence and purpose./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

Torres knows the greatest impact begins with one student and one conversation at a time./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cIt/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019s crucial to understand where they/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019ve been and where they want to go,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d she says. /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cThere are people around us in everyday life who are intelligent and talented but haven/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019t heard someone tell them. Ironically, that/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019s exactly what turned everything around for me./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cI knew deep down, despite my learning difficulties, that I was capable. The question was always, /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2018Does anyone else believe it?/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019 /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cI knew deep down, despite my learning difficulties, that I was capable.

To this day, she points back to a high-school language arts teacher, Mr. Couch, who encouraged Torres to participate in theater and engage in public speaking. His confidence in her unlocked skills and pathways she didn/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019t know existed. Because of him, she pursued a degree in education, so she could also be a teacher. What happened during her master/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019s work at 166su turned her into a lifelong believer in learning opportunities outside the classroom./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cIronically,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d she says again, /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cwhile mentoring 166su students in the program now known as SOAR [Seizing Opportunities for Achievement and Retention], I helped some of them with public speaking. That/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019s what Mr. Couch told me was my strength before I knew it myself. I began to realize my calling into leadership, where I could scale my impact with students./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

After a 10-year run in student support at Valencia College, Torres was courted to return to 166su as the assistant vice president of student success. She would be among the first to create real structure for the concept of student success at her alma mater: advising, coaching, retention, and career and transfer services. To inspire her to map out the future, she could look at her own past./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

Turns out, another inspiration was coming./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

A Reinvigorated Purpose/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

Torres/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019 perspective changed dramatically in 2018. Early that year, she took a leave from 166su to give birth to her daughter. The questions she/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019d always heard from parents of students took root in her own mind. What will my little girl/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019s life be like? Will she find her own passion? What can I do to make sure she thrives?/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

Torres set up a scholarship fund. She paid attention to her daughter/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019s interests in animals and STEM, supporting her passion for animal rescues, attending SeaWorld camp and learning code. She would be a mother, mentor and encourager./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cI/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019ve learned from my own experiences how important it is to be engaged in her journey, so when the time comes, she can graduate on time, get the job she wants and be retained because of her valuable skills. Those are the same types of measures of success we have for each 166su student./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cMy purpose could not be more clear: to make sure every student, regardless of high school or background, whether they/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019re a freshman or transfer, is seen, supported, and feels capable./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

After her maternity leave, Torres went to 166su Downtown to mesh student affairs with the community and business sector. Then, in July 2025, she returned to the main campus that she says she remembers as home to lead the Dixon Career Development Center./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u201cIt/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2019s exciting to see students connecting with resources /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2014 like academic success coaches /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/155117/u2014 and discovering a clear direction.
