We\u2019re on the cutting edge of things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among the personnel expansions this fall are new library positions created by two new Palomar College libraries\u2014one each at the new North and South Education Centers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really exciting to get two new libraries and get new folks on board,\u201d said Pearl Ly, Dean of Social &amp; Behavioral Sciences. \u201cI think they\u2019re really going to add to the programs and be able to serve different student needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Five of the new faculty members arrived in the Counseling Department, where Department Chair Patrick O\u2019Brien said he was thrilled with the \u201ctalented and diverse counseling faculty hired to fill open positions due to retirements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Brien said the new counselors are capable of delivering counseling services and instruction in innovative and collaborative ways, and are experienced in working with\u00a0disproportionately impacted students, including veterans, African American and Latino males, students with disabilities, and foster youth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We look forward to each of them not only having a positive impact on our department, but at our institution as well,&#8221;
