Two staff members in student affairs have received promotions designed to enhance the progress of CWRU's student life facilities planning process, known more informally as "The New CWRU."

Don Kamalsky has been promoted to assistant vice president for student affairs and director of housing, and Sue Nickel Schindewolf is now assistant vice president for student affairs and director of residence life.

In his new role, Kamalsky will continue to oversee housing operations, residence life and Greek life and will collaborate extensively with campus services, dining, information services, plant services and security.

"Don has provided exceptional leadership to housing and residence life for a number of years and over the past year has taken on significant responsibility in planning of the new North Residential Village," said Glenn Nicholls, vice president for student affairs. "His work in the implementation of this plan is critical to the realization of the New CWRU vision."

In her new position, Schindewolf will continue to oversee residence life and programs and collaborate with undergraduate studies and other campus colleagues. She also provides leadership within student affairs on women's issues, serving as an advocate for and working closely with the Center for Women.

In addition, Schindewolf holds other important University-wide roles, including working with students, faculty and staff affected by sexual harassment and sexual assault.

"Schindewolf's new position emphasizes the roles she plays in collaborating with faculty and staff to develop the programmatic components of the living-learning environment in a way that will encourage academic linkages and increase opportunities for collegiate experiences consistent with the CWRU culture, vision and mission," Nicholls said.
