Welcome

A message from the Dean of Students, Dr. Andrew Dies

Welcome current and future Lumberjacks! The primary focus of the Dean of Students Office is simple — it’s you! Student wellness and well-being are the areas we are passionate about, and we seek to address them every day. We do this through six functional areas:

• Campus Recreation
• Counseling Services
• Health Services
• Student Conduct Office
• Student Outreach and Support
• Student Wellness

Everyone in these offices is here to help you be successful.

You, your well-being and your wellness are my responsibility, so please don’t ever hesitate to reach out if you need something. I can’t help you if I don’t know you need help! As the assistant vice president of student affairs and dean of students, I am here for you. I am here to advocate for you and help connect you with resources on and off campus that can enhance your experience and ensure your success while you are a student here at SFA.

Parents and family members, I firmly believe you are a vital resource for your student’s success. I am glad you have found this webpage as well. We all play a part in helping our students succeed.

Please stop by the third floor of the Baker Pattillo Student Center and say, “Hi!” Also, feel free to schedule a meeting with me.

Axe ’em, Jacks! 

Andrew Dies, EdD
