Mobley named to new position

Ms. Mobley will provide the leadership and guidance that this new position requires,” says Samuel Sullivan, vice president for academic affairs. “Her past experience in student services has given her a keen understanding of student development and its relationship to the academic experience of our students.”

In this new position, Ms. Mobley will be responsible for the minority advising program and for leading the university’s efforts to increase the representation of African American males in higher education (which is also a University System initiative).
