"I would like to welcome you all to the Dean of Students Website. While I have many duties as a Dean, my most important job is to act as an resource and advocate for the students of Hamline University.

The Dean of Students Office is one of the key resources available to both students and parents. Our office consists of the Dean of Students (Alan Sickbert), the Assistant Deans of Students (Carlos Sneed and Patti Klein), and the Senior Administrative Assistant (Anna Lachkaya). We deal with primarily non-academic matters and problems. These include housing, discipline, bookstore, food service, policies, special services for international students and students of color, transfer issues, counseling, health issues, disability services, career services, and parents issues. I, or any member of my staff, would be happy to discuss concerns you may have regarding these issues. Remember, we're here to help.

I hope that this website will give you a better idea of my role as an advocate, what the Dean of Students does, the services that the Dean of Students Office provides, and a little about who I am personally."

Alan Sickbert, Dean of Students
