Austin Community College District (ACC) names Kelly Torrico as the college\u2019s new Vice Chancellor of Human Resources. In this role, Torrico will support the adoption of best practices across the ACC community that strengthen ACC\u2019s culture of collaboration, connection, and caring (the 3Cs). <\/p>\n

\u201cKelly brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this role and believes strongly in the ACC mission. During her time already working with ACC, she has proven instrumental in recommending ways to strengthen the work environment in alignment with the College\u2019s 3Cs approach to culture,\u201d says Neil Vickers, ACC executive vice president of Finance and Administration.<\/p>\n

As Vice Chancellor of Human Resources, Torrico will not only sustain and develop existing Human Resources functions but will take a strategic and proactive approach aligning the organization\u2019s employment brand and workforce development strategy with the College\u2019s Strategic Plan and the Chancellor\u2019s Priorities. <\/p>\n

Torrico previously served as the ACC\u2019s first Employee Relations Officer (ERO)<\/a>, where she managed the formal Employee Grievance process, resolved issues informally when possible, and recommended research-based employment practices to address root causes for concern and foster a more positive workplace. <\/p>\n

Torrico holds master\u2019s degrees in Psychology and Business Administration. Her HR career began during her time in the Army, where she served as a Personnel Officer in the Special Operations functions, among other roles. Torrico left active duty after being recruited by McDonald\u2019s Corporation to serve as a Business Partner in Latin America and the Pacific Northwest and later as Divisional Employment Strategy Director. Prior to relocating to Austin to join ACC in 2022, Torrico supported psychiatric hospitals working as a People and Operations Administrator with United Health Group. <\/p>\n

In her new role, Torrico will serve on the Chancellor\u2019s Cabinet and report directly to the Executive Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration. Torrico\u2019s first day as Vice Chancellor of Human Resources will be effective April 3, 2023.<\/p>\n

ACC began its nationwide search for a new vice chancellor of Human Resources following the retirement of Gerry Tucker, J.D., in February 2022, with Vickers serving in the role in the interim<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The college will begin its search for a new ERO immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
