Welcome to Southern Utah University, home of the T-Birds! We are pleased that your student and you have made the choice to join our family. We understand the financial, mental, and emotional investment family's make when supporting a students' education, and we too are invested in that endeavor. As Dean of Students, I serve as the primary liaison between students and university administration. I am here to serve as an advocate and an advisor, and work to serve the best interests of all students.
This website is designed to link you to available campus resources, as well as provide important information and campus updates. If any question you have is not answered here, ask! If we don’t know the answer, we’ll find out who does.
At SUU we pride ourselves on offering opportunities for discovery and development that will help your student become responsible members of society, actively involved in their community. To this end, we offer services to your student and you to facilitate their successful transition to adult life.
It is our goal to provide programs and services that will help your student develop a sense of belonging and recognize their role in a supportive educational community.
I welcome comments, concerns, and suggestions from students and parents.

Assistant Vice President & Dean of Students
