	Emily Glikas	Director	I am the director of Adult Education and the Center for Student Success at Clovis Community College. A lover of books and history, I graduated from WTAMU with a bachelor's in history in 2012. In 2015, I moved from Amarillo, TX, to New Mexico and began attending ENMU to earn a master's degree in education. I started teaching HSE (GED®) classes part-time during grad school, and I fell in love with adult education, our students, and our program! After I completed my master's, I started working for the program full-time. When I'm not at work, I love reading, road trips, Jeopardy!, and spending time with my husband, family, and friends.
	Veronica Cano	Program Coordinator	Hey! I'm Veronica Cano, the CSS Coordinator and morning advisor. I was born and raised in Clovis, and I was a GED® graduate in 2011. Since then, I've earned associate degrees in behavioral science, liberal arts, and general studies. I'm currently working towards my bachelor's in human services. I am living proof that with effort you can achieve all of your educational goals, and I'm here to help you do the same. I can't wait to meet you!
	Meriah Guillen	Instructional Coordinator	I am the Adult Education Instructional Coordinator for the Center for Student Success at Clovis Community College. I started tutoring at CCC in 2014 and then began teaching ESL classes in 2015. In 2017, I worked as a reading interventionist in the public schools for a year before coming back to CCC in 2018, when I started teaching HSE English classes as well as ESL classes. I have been doing so ever since. In 2019, I graduated from ENMU with a bachelor's in university studies. In February of 2020, I came on full time as the AE Instructional Coordinator. While I was born and raised in Las Cruces, I call Texico home. I love to write, read, play piano, and spend time with friends and family.
	Lupita Rivera	Data Specialist	I am Lupita Rivera and I'm the data specialist for the adult education program. I'm from Friona, but I have worked at Clovis Community College for six years. I'm currently taking classes to obtain a liberal arts degree. My favorite thing about working in adult education are the ESL potlucks — I love exchanging food and culture!
	Guadalupe Jauregui	Student Advisor	Hi! My name is Guadalupe, and I am the evening advisor for the adult education program. Originally from Los Angeles, I have lived in Clovis for over a decade. I have worked at the AE program since Fall 2018, speak English and Spanish, and am currently working towards a bachelor's in social work. My favorite thing about being an advisor is getting to know my students, helping them navigate the program, and watching them graduate and go on to achieve their dreams!
