They emphasize the importance of collaboration across departments, believing that a holistic approach to student development is key to fostering a thriving academic and social community.
In their joint statement, Dr. Doe and Dr. Smith expressed excitement about the opportunity to serve in this new capacity. “We are committed to continuing MTU’s legacy of providing students with the tools they need to succeed—not only academically but personally, socially, and professionally,” they said.
With these two dedicated leaders at the helm, MTU’s Student Affairs Division is poised for continued growth and innovation, ensuring that students receive the support they need to excel both in and out of the classroom.
