Megan James

As the vice president for student life and dean of students, I serve as the chief student affairs officer of the college and am responsible for providing strategic vision, planning and leadership for all areas of the college related to student life. This includes creating and maintaining a collaborative campus environment that supports student success both in and out of the classroom. Areas that fall under the Student Life umbrella include student retention, academic advising, residence life, new student orientation, student organizations, student government, fraternity/sorority life, student accountability, Title IX, ADA accommodations, campus safety, dining services and the bookstore. I love engaging with students during such a crucial time in their lives, helping them to focus on the ethical and social responsibility of living in a diverse world. My husband and I are both proud Majors and are often on campus with our children attending concerts, lectures and athletic events.
