Tony Voisin

Voisin, a CMU alum, has worked in student affairs at CMU since 1985, holding positions as a residence hall director, assistant director of residence life, director of student life and, most recently, interim dean of students, where he earned an annual salary of $97,720. He was named interim dean of students/assistant VP of student affairs in April after the university announced plans to realign the Enrollment and Student Services Office.

Voisin will begin his duties as assistant vice president for student affairs on Oct. 1 with an annual salary of $115,000.

Steven Johnson, vice president of enrollment and student services, announced the appointment Wednesday afternoon.

“Throughout his tenure, Tony has demonstrated his commitment to providing students with the best opportunities for enhancing their college experience,” Johnson said in a news release. “He maintains excellent working relationships with various constituents across the university.”

Voisin will be responsible for leading and directing the Counseling Center, Office of Student Life, Leadership Institute, Student Disability Services and Volunteer Center. He will also be responsible for providing day-to-day guidance for Residence Life.

“It’s exciting,” Voisin said. “It will be a great challenge. We have much work to continue, but I am very thankful and grateful for the opportunity.”

During the interview process for the position, Voisin, one of three finalists, said he wants to see an increase in student retention rates at CMU, as well as more diversity and ethnic diversity in academic programs. He wants to strengthen student programs like the Leadership Institute and the Volunteer Center. He said all of this could be done through better communication with students.

“I hope to continue our efforts from last year, and continue to provide quality student services to the students of the university,” Voisin said.
