Dean of Students

Class Deans

At Union, the Class Deans connect students to resources in all areas of student and academic life. Each entering cohort is assigned a Class Dean who will remain with them through graduation. Class Deans serve as the first point of contact for faculty and families with concerns about a student. The Class Deans office also serves as a hub for students to connect with departments and resources across campus. Our office is located in Reamer 303 and we are available to discuss the following with students:

  • Getting connected to campus resources
  • Academic Difficulty
  • Extended absences/leaves
  • Graduation progress
  • Making social & co-curricular connections

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

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