President’s Welcome: New Staff on Campus.

Sep 20, 2023

In addition to the new faculty I introduced previously, we also have new staff members. Although they’re not typically in the classroom, these individuals often have much direct contact with students and contribute greatly to making a VCSU education what it is for our students and their families.

Joining the staff at VCSU are the following individuals who assume a variety of roles, from coaching to the Facilities Services office to Graduate Studies and more.

Each person on this list plays a key part in providing our students with the coaching, services and facilities needed to succeed here in Valley City. We are proud to have them on the VCSU team. Go Vikings!
