Faculty Spotlight

After 20+ years, Cordova still looks forward to teaching

Professor Tim Cordova started a new chapter in his career this year as he became Elizabethtown Community and Technical College’s Technical Division Chair, turning more of his attention to serving fellow faculty members and addressing the needs of about 10 academic programs. While he’s proud to represent technical faculty as a division chair and to have a role in broader college initiatives, teaching remains the most rewarding part of the job.
