Jeffrey A. Barnett, PhD, will join us as vice president for student affairs and dean for students. He most recently served as interim associate dean of students at Stony Brook University, where he has worked since 2000 in a variety of student affairs and enrollment and retention roles. He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Stony Brook and a master’s degree in higher education administration from Teachers College at Columbia University. Last year, he completed his doctorate in social welfare at Stony Brook—with a dissertation focused on fostering belonging among low-income college students. We are excited by the new vision Jeff will bring to Student Affairs, as well as his skill and enthusiasm for connecting with students. He will start at Pace on September 1.
