Dear MSU Community,

In coming weeks, we will be launching a national search for the next Montana State University Vice President of Student Success. This pivotal administrative role profoundly influences the well-being and academic journey of our students during their time on campus. It oversees Admissions, ASMSU, the Dean of Students, Financial Aid, the Leadership Institute, the Registrar's Office, Student Wellness, Veteran Services, and the Student Success Shared Services Team.

During the search, there will be opportunities for students, faculty and staff to meet and interact with the finalists. Importantly, ASMSU President Jacob Zink and ASMSU Vice President Melissa Ramirez will serve on the search committee.

Jacob and Melissa will be joined by the rest of the search committee, who all have my gratitude for undertaking this important task:

  • Chair, Terry Leist, Vice President, Administration and Finance
  • Ryan Anderson, Associate Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering/Chair of the Faculty Affairs Committee of Faculty Senate
  • Betsy Asserson, Director, Counseling and Psychological Services
  • Ariel Donohue, Senior Diversity and Inclusion Officer
  • Durward Sobek, Vice Provost of Academic Affairs

Sincerely,

Waded Cruzado

President, Montana State University
