Muskingum University today announced the appointment of higher education veteran Dr. Michael Malone as associate vice president for Student Affairs. In this role, Dr. Malone will leverage 30+ years of experience to strategically manage all aspects of the Student Affairs Division while working directly with the provost, assistant dean of students, student affairs directors, and the title IX coordinator to contribute to the University’s success.

“Dr. Malone’s higher education leadership experience is a perfect complement to Muskingum University’s rich tradition of guiding and empowering students to succeed through high-impact learning experiences in and out of the classroom,” said Dr. Nancy Evangelista, provost of Muskingum University. “At Muskingum, we are dedicated to developing the whole student intellectually, spiritually, socially, and physically, and under Dr. Malone’s leadership, we will strengthen our efforts and our successes, in accomplishing this mission.”
Dr. Malone was graduated from Johnson and Wales University with a doctorate in educational leadership; from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana with a master’s degree in speech communication; and magna cum laude from Davis and Elkins College with a bachelor’s degree in communications.
