From student programs to campus initiatives, a lot happens behind the scenes. The VPSA Central Administrative Office manages the planning and infrastructure that helps keep Student Affairs moving forward. The Associate Vice Provost for Administration allocates resources for Student Affairs units, oversees the Bechtel International Center, and supports division initiatives, programs, and events.
VPSA Central Administrative Office Units
This unit communicates university policies and procedures across the division and participates in university-wide groups, such as the University Management Group.
Bechtel International Center is where international students and scholars, along with their families, are supported. The center is responsible for ensuring institutional compliance with federal immigration regulations, supports and advises international students, scholars, and families regarding immigration and visa issues, advises students pursuing scholarships abroad, and provides opportunities to increase international awareness and understanding.
We coordinate events at Tresidder Memorial Union, the Old Union Complex, Meyer Green, and White Plaza, among other locations. Our one-stop event planning service includes audiovisual, catering, entertainment, and room set-ups with both internal and external vendor partners.
