The student life offices will see new faces this year after two assistant deans took jobs elsewhere over the summer.

Former spirit group director Amanda May now holds the title of interim director of student life and leadership after Nathan Hall left this summer.

“I’m really excited about this position,” said May. “It’s a step up from what I was doing and it’s the type of job I always hoped to one day have so I pursued it as soon as I found out it was available.”

May will now oversee 150 organizations on campus, including groups like CAB and SGA.

In addition to these changes, Greek life coordinator Keith Hembree left this summer also. Now that his position and May’s old position are open, the two positions are to be merged as one.

“We haven’t found anyone to fill the position yet so Amanda will temporarily continue to be in charge of spirit groups and take on Greek life until the position is filled,” said Wayne Brumfield, vice president of student affairs. “Amanda has done great things with the spirit groups so we know she’ll do well with this position.”

May has been employed with the university since 2009, starting as a graduate assistant for athletics. In 2010 she moved to student life as the coordinator of spirit groups and the dance coach.

She received her undergraduate from LSU in public relations and her masters from ULM in business administration. May also held the title of Miss Louisiana in 2007.

“It’s a lot to be in charge of, but I’m ready to take it all on and happy to be doing it,” said May.
