SAE Magazine 12-2

Vincent Brooks, Director At the helm of the SAE Miami ship is Vincent Brooks. Mr Brooks is not your typical SAE direc- tor with a proliferate career in Audio Engineering or Music production, in fact quite the opposite. Mr. Brooks is a 20-year retired Marine Corps Veteran with double Masters degrees, an MBA and an MS in Human Relations, in addition to over 10 years experience as a leader in education. How has your experience pre- pared you for running SAE Mi- ami? I have been in the education field for over ten years. The various positions from Adjunct Professor to Dean of Academic Affairs covered a broad spectrum of affiliations with accrediting and state licensing agencies. I feel that these experiences have filled my “toolbox” with resources that sustain me on a daily basis here at SAE Miami. What is your vision and goal for SAE Miami? To be a leader in the creative media industry provid- ing students with an outstanding overall education- al experience and an opportunity to spend the rest of their lifetime doing what they have been trained to do here at SAE Miami. What do you do when you’re not at the helm of the SAE ship? I enjoy time with my family. We tend to get caught up in the hustle of work and neglect those closest to us, therefore I try to spend as much time with them as possible. I’m an avid runner and I enjoy going for long runs early in the morning before work. A testament to persistence, drive and dedication SAE Miami still retains staff and faculty from its inception in 2002. The campus is championed by a team of educators and industry professionals with a collective number of over 80 years of industry and education experience. SAE Miami like its host city is a work in progress constantly evolving and adapting to its geographi- cal and corporate culture, diversity and challenges.
