Fellow
As the Executive Vice Provost at Nevada State University, Dr. Tony Scinta guides efforts to improve the overall student experience at NS, with the ultimate goal of helping more students earn degrees on the path to a better quality of life.
To this end, much of his time is invested in student success initiatives, the effective integration of academic and student affairs, and the application of evidence-based decisions to promote improved student and institutional outcomes. Regarding the latter, Dr. Scinta oversaw and helped develop Nevada State’s Office of Institutional Research, which has evolved into a statewide model for the effective application of student outcome data toward continual improvement. Likewise, as the university’s accreditation liaison officer, Dr. Scinta has led campus-wide assessment efforts for over a decade, and has conducted research on topics ranging from the effectiveness of instructional techniques to the impact of peer support.
