Tana Troke Campana Receives 2022 TWIN Award
Please join us in congratulating Tana Troke Campana, Senior Assistant Dean and Chief of Staff at the Jacobs School of Engineering, for being honored by YWCA San Diego County with the Tribute to Women & Industry (TWIN) Award, which recognizes extraordinary achievements of women in managerial, executive or leadership roles.
In her current role, Tana works directly with the Dean Pisano and academic and administrative senior leaders on strategic planning, implementation of the dean's vision, and oversight of the school’s finances and administrative operations. In 2015, Tana developed and implemented a schoolwide Lean Six Sigma based administrative best practices initiative, now expanded across the campus with 19 new tools to date.
Tana is a UC San Diego LEAD Fellow, STRIVE mentor, Academic Affairs Best Practices Co-Chair, and member of many campus-wide committees. Her prior roles at UC San Diego include Administrative Vice Chair for the Department of Family Medicine and Public Health and Assistant Dean for Medical Education. Tana held multiple management roles at UC Irvine and UC San Francisco and served as the CAO and IT director at a K-12 public school in New York. She is also a founding Board member of the Drums Along the Waterfront organization. Tana earned her MBA and BS in Information Systems from the University of Redlands.
Each year the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on the Status of Women (CSW) seeks nominations of women to be considered for the YWCA Tribute to Women & Industry (TWIN) Award. Comprised of UC San Diego faculty, staff, and student representatives, CSW advises the Chancellor through the Vice Chancellor of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion on issues relating to the status of women and gender equity at UC San Diego. Since 1981, CSW has alternated nominating UC San Diego faculty/academics and staff women for the award. To learn more about the TWIN award and to view a list of past recipients, visit the UC San Diego TWIN Award Recipients webpage. Please also consider faculty/academics whom you might nominate for the 2023 TWIN Award.
Tana and other women colleagues throughout the San Diego area were honored at a citywide ceremony in June. Please join us in applauding Tana’s dedication, service and leadership.
