I'm LaJuan Simpson-Wilkey, a higher education leader and faculty member with a strong commitment to student success, academic excellence, and institutional transformation.
With over 20 years of experience—including roles as faculty, Department Chair, Dean, and Associate Vice President—I bring a 360-degree perspective to the student experience and to academic leadership.
"My journey began in the classroom, where I had the privilege of teaching, mentoring, and directly shaping student learning. That foundation continues to guide my work as an administrator—always keeping students and learning at the center of institutional decision-making."
Over the years, I've led cross-functional teams, developed impactful academic programs, improved retention and graduation outcomes, and strengthened faculty development efforts.
