Crisselda Lejia is a professional whose dedication and organizational expertise help power some of the university’s most critical academic initiatives. With over a decade of experience in higher education and administrative support, Crissy plays a pivotal role in coordinating the day-to-day operations that keep Faculty Affairs running smoothly. From managing calendars and meetings to overseeing travel logistics, inventory, and procurement, her work ensures that faculty leaders can focus on advancing UTRGV’s academic mission.

Prior to joining Faculty Affairs in 2024, she served as Executive Assistant in the Office of the Provost, where she supported senior leadership and facilitated key processes such as academic searches and committee coordination.

Currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Higher Administration, Crissy brings both practical experience and academic insight to her work. Her contributions are often behind the scenes—but they are essential to the success of faculty development programs, leadership workshops, and university-wide initiatives. Whether she’s preparing agendas for strategic meetings or ensuring faculty events run seamlessly, Crissy’s attention to detail and collaborative spirit make her an invaluable part of the UTRGV community.
