Dr. Mast is enthusiastic about student success. “Student Services have always been a passion of mine,” said Dr. Mast.  “It is a vital piece for many students to be successful, especially working adults with factors in their lives that make it more challenging to engage in their coursework.” 

 

His goals include reaching as many students as possible. “I want to make sure the services we provide help each student be successful academically as well as develop the skills that will help them be successful in life,” said Dr. Mast.  “Student Services are a vital piece of student retention.  We want students to interact with our services frequently and in a way that helps them be successful while they are with Union and also after they graduate.”
