The role of the Associate Vice-President of Student Services at SHSU is primarily supportive in nature. As a result, measurable outcomes are limited.

Bi-weekly divisional staff meetings along with monthly unit head meetings insured an open communication line. Representation on other university committees such as the Academic Policy Council and the Academic Affairs Council promoted the communication between the division of Student Services and Academic Affairs. As a result of these campus involvement efforts and findings, open communication internally and externally has been successful and will be continued.
