Biography:
Dr. Monica R.M. Brown,
Interim Dean of Student Development, began her career in higher education over
seventeen years ago. She has worked at both four-year and two-year higher
education institutions with diverse populations of students, faculty and staff.
Her eclectic background derives from her experiences in academic affairs,
continuing education and student affairs.
After almost 15 years of service in various leadership roles at Georgetown
University and two years as a part-time counselor and advisor at Prince George’s
Community College, she became so enamored with the community college philosophy
that she decided to make the transition from the four-year university
environment. Dr. Brown began her career at Montgomery College in
January 2003 as the Campus & Community Coordinator. In March, 2004, she was
appointed Acting Dean of Student Development. In this capacity, she provided
leadership and managerial oversight of the Student Development unit, and
supervised faculty, professional and administrative staff. She also served as an
integral part of the Rockville Administrative Team and chaired the Campus
Leaders Group and the Student Development Directors’ meetings. She served in
this capacity until August 2004, at which time her functional title was changed
to Special Assistant to the Dean. In this role, she assisted the dean in
managing the Student Development unit and co-chaired the Campus Leaders’ Group.
In July 2005, Dr. Brown was appointed as Associate Dean of Student Development
at the Rockville Campus. In August 2006, Dr. Brown was appointed to her current
role as the Interim Dean of Student Development.
Dr. Brown earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Trinity College and a
Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies from Georgetown University. Her Doctorate of Education in Higher Education Administration, with a concentration in Community College Leadership, was awarded from Morgan State University, in Baltimore, Maryland. She is a member of the American College Personnel
Association (ACPA), a Commission Directorate Member with the Commission for
Student Development in Two-Year Colleges and a member of the Commission on
