Previously, Lopez managed all employee, process and technology operations for the college and in this expanded role, Lopez will continue to develop and implement strategic initiatives to formalize, streamline and continuously improve all operational aspects at Dade Medical College's six Florida campuses as well as at its sister company, Southern Career College, located in Jacksonville.

Lopez will also oversee all financial assistance departmental operations for both schools, an integral part of the colleges' student-focused attitude.

Lopez's previous background in senior executive operation management roles will help to enhance the college's productivity, efficiency and customer service. "As we continue to grow and expand, we are lucky to have such a seasoned expert heading up these very important departments," says Dade Medical College President and CEO, Ernesto Perez.
