Janet Dickerson, Duke University's vice president for student affairs, has been tapped by Princeton to fill the vacancy created by the departure of Dean of Student Life Janina Montero — and then some.
With Dickerson's arrival, Montero's old position will broaden both in name and function. As vice president for campus life, Dickerson will work with both the graduate school and undergraduates.
She also will coordinate several programs relating to student life, including the alcohol initiative, the opening of the Frist Campus Center and the expansion of social alternatives in conjunction with the recently approved increase in the size of the student body.
Though she will hold a higher administrative position than her predecessor, Dickerson said she still wants to work closely with students, both undergraduate and graduate.
"One of my first goals would be to get to know you all, to hear what students have to say. I tend to listen carefully," she said. "I will have office hours to get to know student individuals and groups."
Dickerson said she sees her role as a student advocate and "community builder."
"I like to think everything I've achieved is because I've been able to work well with others," she said. "I like to build relationships between students, students and faculty, alumni and parents. Relationship building is work that I value."
