\u201cI’m looking forward to working with the team to enhance and build upon what already exists and developing a vibrant campus life,\u201d Stoker said. \u201cMy family and I are excited about joining the Indiana Tech and Fort Wayne communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stoker has worked for more than 18 years in student affairs on two college campuses: Pittsburg State University in Kansas and the University of Indianapolis. He is currently the executive director for student services at UIndy.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdding this position, particularly with the experience and skills Dan Stoker will bring to it, helps us ensure that we are meeting the needs of our students in a well-rounded way,\u201d President Arthur E. Snyder said. \u201cAcademics are the core of any college, but there are many factors beyond the classroom that impact a student\u2019s lifelong success.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to coordinating orientation, student activities, and assessment at UIndy, Stoker also has taught \u201cThe Ethical Leader\u201d course in the organizational leadership major for the School for Adult Learning program the past three years, as well as teaching a first-year transition class on three campuses over 18 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cI strongly believe in the role that student affairs can have in not only enhancing the student experience on the campus, but also preparing students for leadership and civic engagement after college,\u201d Stoker said. \u201cWe not only want responsible, involved students, but also strong, ethical professionals who are prepared to act and serve their industry and community when they graduate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stoker has served on the executive board for the Association of Fraternity Advisors, the planning committee for the Indiana Student Affairs Association, and is a member of NASPA and ACPA.<\/p>\n
Originally from upstate New York, Stoker has a bachelor\u2019s degree in mathematics from SUNY Potsdam, and a master\u2019s in college student personnel and a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership both from Indiana State University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-916","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
