Assistant Vice President/Dean of Students

The Dean of Students Office at Southern Utah University provides solutions, services, and support to help students navigate the university setting. The Office serves as a student support network by focusing on students’ educational, social, and personal development; we promote academic success and student retention.


The Office also provides advocacy, problem resolution, and critical incident intervention when additional assistance is needed, including conduct issues on our campus.
