  • History

    The Vice President has created a student development unit as "core" to perform all student development activities with a lead person for each function and back up people to fill in. They have a "calendar" of key Student Affairs activities, with lead persons appointed to head up each function. They have taken a "clinic" rather than "boutique" approach. Since there are endless groups that want to be served by individual offices, the number of offices Student Affairs might be asked to create could be enormous. The "clinic" approach, is an alternative that appears to be working well, partly because of a very competent staff in Student Affairs, and also due to the fact that they work well as a team (M&H Group Inc.
