MTU’s Student Affairs Division is led by two familiar faces who work together.

At Michigan Technological University (MTU), the Student Affairs Division is guided by two experienced leaders who work together to ensure the well-being and success of students. These two key figures, Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students, and the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs, play a critical role in shaping the student experience on campus.

The Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students is the chief administrator overseeing all student services and programs. This individual is responsible for ensuring that students have access to resources that support their academic, personal, and social growth. The Vice President is a key advocate for student success, collaborating with faculty, staff, and other departments to address student needs. This leader manages a variety of essential areas, including housing, student health services, counseling, career services, and student organizations. By working closely with students, the Vice President can better understand their challenges and opportunities, and create a more inclusive, supportive campus environment.

Supporting the Vice President is the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs, who plays an instrumental role in the day-to-day operations and strategic planning within the division. This individual often takes on the responsibility of managing specific programs or student-focused initiatives, ensuring that the student services offered align with the university’s broader goals. They work on the development of student engagement strategies and initiatives that help foster a sense of community and belonging. Their role also involves assessing student needs and identifying areas for improvement in the overall student experience. By working closely with both leadership and student groups, the Associate Vice President ensures that all students receive the attention and resources they deserve.

Their leadership is rooted in a commitment to student development, equity, and inclusion. Through regular communication with student organizations, academic departments, and other campus units, they strive to create a holistic approach to student well-being.
