Exciting updates are on the horizon for Vincennes University Jasper as we prepare for a new chapter in campus leadership.

Adam Watkins, Assistant Vice President and Dean of VU Jasper, has made the difficult decision to step down from his role for personal and family reasons, effective June 26. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Adam for his dedicated service, mentorship, and leadership.

As we launch a national search for the permanent position expect an entirely seamless transition. VU Jasper Assistant Dean of Academic and Student Services Alli Tempel will step up to serve as our Interim Dean.

Given her extensive background across Student Activities, Student Services, and Academic Support Services, Alli brings a wealth of institutional knowledge that guarantees our operational momentum will continue without missing a beat.

Please join us in thanking Adam for his incredible work and in supporting Alli as she leads VU Jasper into a bright and collaborative future.
