The LAEDC recognized CSUN as its 2015 Eddy Award winner for its positive economic impact.

The Associate Dean is a key member of the senior team of the College along with the Dean and the Executive Director of the College's Division of Business Operations and Finance and is expected to know the work of the College well and to ensure that the College works in keeping with the college's mission, purpose, values and five-year vision. The Associate Dean has oversight of the College's Division of Academic Affairs. As such, the Associate Dean is responsible with the Dean and the Executive Director for moving the College forward; ensuring that the College is continuously expanding and refining core capacities; engaging the full talents of the College staff to respond to a changing array of opportunities; and ensuring that the College makes significant contributions to CSUN's present and future in keeping with the College Five-Year Vision and yearly goals. The focus and priority of CSUN and the College is ensuring student success. The Associate Dean's choices and strategies are expected to be crafted to foster and support student success.

The Associate Dean has special oversight responsibility for CSUN's degrees, certificate programs, and credit courses offered through the College. The Associate Dean serves as the direct supervisor for the director of the College's Graduate and Professional Education Programs and Services Unit (which manages and provides student support services, CSUN's self-support degree, certificate programs, and executive education offerings), the manager of the College's University Access Programs (Winter Term, Summer Session, and Open University), and the director of the College's Student Success Pathways Programs.

Because the Dean of the College is also CSUN's senior international officer and the College itself has a number of programs for international students and plays a significant role in international programs and partnerships development for the College and CSUN as well as having an important role in international recruitment for the College and CSUN, the Associate Dean also has a number of international duties related to current and emerging CSUN programs and partnerships; particularly those most directly linked to the College. The Associate Dean plays a lead role with the Dean, the Executive Director, and other members of the College senior staff in keeping the College fully engaged within CSUN. The Associate Dean is able to identify and advance CSUN's current and emerging priorities, educational and research strengths and, in turn, act as a spokesperson for CSUN with a wide range of internal and external constituencies. The Associate Dean develops and maintains a close, productive, and positive working relationships with other CSUN divisions, colleges, departments, and administrative offices and with those at the CSU Chancellor's Office with which the College regularly interacts. The Dean of the College expects staff at all levels in the College to exhibit openness, transparency, positive mutual support, a focus on the core work of the College, and to work in keeping with the College's Mission, Purpose, and Values Statement https://tsengcollege.csun.edu/aboutus/Deansoffice/missionandgoals. Decision making should always be based on what is best for CSUN, the College, and the students and communities they serve. The Associate Dean is also expected to work in keeping with CSUN's Leadership Principles https://www.csun.edu/sites/default/files/CSUN_Leadership_Principles.pdf. The evaluation of success in this role will be based primarily on this core work which relies heavily on exceptional professional judgment, proactive and innovative problem solving, purposeful and clever creativity in program development and management, and the ability to see and respond to internal and external patterns and trends in CSUN and higher education overall.
