OUE staff changes, new name for OFYP

OUE staff changes
A few staffing changes have been made in the administrative Office of Undergraduate Education (OUE):

• Beth Lingren Clark has been serving as assistant dean for Orientation & First-Year Programs and will now serve as the associate vice provost for strategic enrollment initiatives. 
• LeeAnn Melin has been serving as assistant dean for undergraduate student initiatives and will now serve as the associate vice provost for student success. 
• Heidi Meyer was named executive director of admissions for the Twin Cities campus, effective December 2017.

These changes came about following the resignation of the associate vice provost for enrollment management last summer, and Robert McMaster, vice provost and dean of undergraduate education, is confident that this restructuring will best serve students moving forward.

New name for OFYPIn the coming months, the office of Orientation and First-Year Programs (OFYP) will be renamed to Orientation & Transition Experiences (OTE). This change reflects the office’s work involving student experiences for first-year, second-year, and transfer students. The mission and goals will remain the same.
