Carmen Domingo Appointed Dean of
San Francisco State University’s
College of Science & Engineering (CoSE)
The first woman to be appointed to the position, Carmen Domingo has been
interim dean since August 2017 and a faculty member in the Department of
Biology since 1997.
As a Latina scientist, Domingo is part of a select group nationwide: Only
three percent of U.S. higher education administrators are Hispanic/Latino,
according to a 2017 report by the College and University Professional
Association for Human Resources.
One of her visions as dean is to expand funding opportunities for
students and faculty across the college. “One of the things I’d like to see
grow is internships and partnerships with local industries,” she explained.
“The tech and biotech industries have significant workforce needs that our
graduates can address. By sponsoring internships, employers have an
opportunity to see firsthand the talent we are cultivating here at SF State.”
Domingo will oversee more than
160 faculty members and serve a
student body of more than 7,000 in
which 48 percent are women and 71
percent are ethnic minorities, making it
uniquely diverse in the sciences.
Domingo obtained her
bachelor’s degree in biological
sciences from the University of
California, Irvine and earned her Ph.D. in
molecular and cell biology from the
University of California, Berkeley.
