She is responsi ble for a variety of programs relating to the health, conduct and retention of students, in cluding assistance during emergencies and liaison with parents and with social, off campus living and religious organizations. She is also responsible for coordinating activities in academic advising and student services, career planning and placement, counseling, interna tional services, student development and student conduct. “I look at this job as one in which I can function as an ad vocate for students,” she says. “It’s one that enables me to build bridges between the stu dent affairs staff and the students.” “I’m eager to keep the freshmen seminars going,” she says. She hopes to convince more senior faculty members to volunteer to teach these small group classes, which were of fered for the first time this fall. Wilson joined the student af fairs staff in 1969 as associate dean of students and dean of women. She held that position until 1978 when the student af fairs office reorganized, and she became director of academic ad vising and students services. She was acting dean of students during 1977-78.
