Message from Vice President for Student Engagement and Success and Dean of Students

Dear OWU Students,

Another exciting year is underway!  The Ohio Wesleyan community will provide each of us with challenges and opportunities that will be catalysts for your learning and development.  To fully leverage the OWU experience, you must become a part of it.  Research tells us that students who are involved in their college experience have higher levels of satisfaction, persistence and learning.  Use this opportunity of learning to more fully explore your passions, develop your gifts and talents, and transform yourself and your community.

Respect yourself and others, appreciate and value our diverse community of learners and become resourceful in all that you do.  Take responsibility for your learning, involvements and actions in order to make the most of every moment at OWU!

As your Vice President for Student Engagement and Success and Dean of Students, I advocate on behalf of the student experience, promote opportunities to engage inside and outside of the classroom, and am committed to making Ohio Wesleyan University a positive learning environment for all students.  Together we, students, faculty, staff and administration, share in the privilege of learning from each other in this special place.  I look forward to sharing this transformational journey with you!
