Roger Howard, a longtime associate dean of students, has agreed to serve as interim associate vice chancellor for student affairs.

Howard will serve in this position, a key administrative role in the area of student services, while the university seeks a permanent associate vice chancellor for student affairs.

“Roger brings to this new position extensive expertise and insight from his years on campus as associate dean of students and assistant to the vice chancellor for academic affairs,” says Paul W. Barrows, vice chancellor for student affairs.

Howard’s other previous positions include residence hall housefellow, residence hall director and assistant dean of students.

The appointment and position are part of an administrative reorganization meant to better integrate a broad range of student affairs and services. The university has reorganized student-related functions under one vice chancellor, Barrows, who now supervises the Registrar’s Office, the Office of Student Financial Services, Undergraduate Admissions, the Dean of Students Office, University Health Services and student diversity efforts.

Howard will assist Barrows in developing a new vision for student affairs and services, Barrows said in announcing the appointment to deans and directors.
