The Vice Chancellor assumes a pivotal role within the university’s leadership structure by directly reporting to the Chancellor. In this capacity, they spearhead the Division of Student Affairs, offering strategic direction, policy guidance, and operational management. Collaborating closely with both professional and student staff, the Vice Chancellor fosters a pervasive sense of inclusion and prioritizes student welfare at UWM. Their efforts concentrate on elevating the caliber of engagements and forging meaningful connections.
