About the Deans of Students
The role of the Dean of Students is to ensure that appropriate resources and opportunities exist to support our students' success. The Deans work with a wide variety of student services to provide opportunities for student learning and development, in academic courses and through extra-curricular activities. The Deans of Students work in conjunction with our college faculty to provide a supportive, learner-centered environment. See the boxes below for more information about some of the departments and programs within the Deans of Students. Please review the CCAC Guide to Services for a comprehensive overview of the resources and opportunities available to all CCAC students.
At the Community College of Allegheny County, our goal is our students’ success. For us, student success is a holistic and inclusive journey. We are committed to meeting students where they are and supporting them in achieving their unique goals. While academic achievement is a cornerstone of this success, we recognize that true student success also encompasses personal, professional and career growth. It includes the development of essential life skills—such as the ability to navigate challenges and the capacity to adapt—in order to thrive in an ever-changing world. Ultimately, student success is realized when students complete their academic journey, whether by personal enrichment, earning a degree, obtaining a certificate, acquiring an industry-recognized credential, successfully transferring to a four-year institution or securing job placement
