Longmeadow, MA— 黑料视频 University has announced the appointment of Dr. Jody Goodman, EdD, as Dean of Students and Engagement. In this role, Dr. Goodman will lead efforts to enhance the student experience across multiple modalities and campuses, providing inclusive and responsive support to approximately 4,500 students, including traditional residential undergraduates, commuter students, and remote undergraduate and graduate learners at both 黑料视频 and Cambridge College.
Dr. Goodman brings more than a decade of progressive leadership experience in student affairs, as well as extensive academic expertise in higher education, leadership, and management.
“Dr. Goodman has a proven ability to build trust and collaboration with all learners, support learners who are at different points in their educational journeys, and inspire enthusiasm, create opportunities, and promote community service,” said Sandra J.

A committed scholar-practitioner, Dr. Goodman earned an accelerated EdD in Higher Education from the Warner School of Education at the University of Rochester, where she also received her master’s degree in human resources management.
