Two Interim Assistant Vice Presidents in the area of Student Success have been appointed: Congratulations to Deanna Tyson, who will serve as Interim AVP of Athletics & Fitness, and Jennifer-Kristina Jones, who will serve as Interim AVP of Grants Administration.
Deanna has served as Associate Dean of Athletics and Recreation at Castleton University (CU) since 2007. She has worked in CU athletics since 1999 and we are honored to have her bring this experience to Vermont State University. Jennifer-Kristina is currently serving as Director of the Academic Support Center and Success Coach at CU and has previously served as Director of Upward Bound. She is also a CU alumna, and we are excited to have her bring these experiences into this role. We are thrilled to welcome them to these key roles as we continue to transform.
As with previously appointed interim Assistant Vice President positions, the term of these positions is three-to-nine months, exact timing depends on when a Vice President of Student Success is appointed. Once that position is filled, searches will be launched for permanent Assistant VPs.
These positions were posted in early June and garnered a pool of internal applications. Thank you to all candidates who applied. The search committee was impressed by the caliber of the applicants and the tremendous talent and enthusiasm for the success of Vermont State University. As the Vermont State University organization structure develops, we anticipate openings of other opportunities.
