Dean of Students

As your Dean of Students, I want you to know this: you are not alone on this journey. Our faculty, staff, and administrators are all deeply invested in your success. Whether you’re adjusting to college life or getting closer to graduation, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Don’t hesitate to reach out. We mean that.

At Clayton State, we believe education should be a launchpad for social mobility, a way to create new opportunities for yourself, your family, and your future. But that kind of transformation doesn’t happen in isolation. I challenge you to stay connected, stay engaged, and stay curious.

Get involved. There’s something here for everyone. Take a stroll down Main Street on the second floor of the University Center to feel the buzz of happenings or visit the Student Activities Center to take care of your physical wellness at your very own campus gym, just to name a few engagement opportunities. If you ever feel out of the loop, check your Clayton State email and visit clayton.edu/calendar to stay up to date on campus events, programs, and opportunities. And if you don’t see what you’re looking for, that’s the beauty of being a Laker. This is a campus of possibility. You have the power to create something new.

This is your time. Let’s make it count together.
