Dean of Students

Class Deans

At Union, each entering cohort is assigned to one of four Class Deans, who will be a resource for them throughout their educational journey here until graduation. Class Deans help connect students with departments and other helpful resources across campus, and serve as the first point of contact for faculty, staff, and families with concerns about a student. A student's Class Dean can help with the following:

  • Getting connected to campus resources
  • Academic difficulty
  • Extended absences/leaves
  • Graduation progress
  • Making social & co-curricular connections
  • Problem-solving and planning

In addition, as part of the Class Deans office, international students have access to advising specific to their needs and immigration status.

We encourage all students to be proactive and to make an appointment to introduce themselves before they need help or support.
