Leadership
To lead is a responsibility Ashland University does not take lightly.
This obligation is especially significant when it comes to setting up our students for success, both now and for the future.
Ashland’s “Accent on the Individual” motto has a long, rich history. And for good reason! It remains as true today as it did decades ago. The individual is always the primary focus—because it’s through inspired, educated and enlightened individuals coming together that true, lasting change happens in our world.
We love to hear from our students, alumni, donors and friends. Every member of our Institutional Advancement team wants to serve and connect with you and incorporate you in the life of the University. Whether it's more information about a story on our homepage, or an event about which you would like more details, please don't hesitate to contact our leadership team—and, of course, consider showing your pride with a gift of support. We look forward to exploring how we can work together for a brighter future for all our students and the Ashland family.
Below, you can learn more about the dedicated individuals who work every day to create a holistic student experience for everyone who comes to Ashland to find their passion; their life’s calling; their story.
