Leadership Changes in Enrollment Management & Student Success Division
May 1, 2023
VP for Enrollment Management & Student Success (EMSS) Chrissy Holliday recently announced two significant leadership changes within her division that will enhance the campus' ability to achieve enrollment targets and enhance the Cal Poly Humboldt student experience in support of student success.
As part of strategic reorganization to ensure the campus is positioned to achieve enrollment growth, Financial Aid Director Peggy Metzger was recently promoted to Executive Director of Enrollment Management and Financial Aid. She has served in a similar interim capacity since 2022, during which time she led the development of the new Strategic Enrollment Management Plan prior to Dr. Holliday's arrival. In this permanent role, she will maintain direct oversight of Financial Aid, while providing additional administrative oversight for other EM departments, including Admissions, Registrar, and EOP. She will work alongside the VP EMSS to operationalize enrollment strategies across the units and improve the student enrollment experience.
Effective May 1, Dr. Jennifer Sanford has been named Executive Director of Student Health & Well-being, a role in which she has served in an interim capacity since September 2020. During that time, she has overseen campus efforts related to Student Health Services, Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS), and Health Education, and also served as the Campus COVID Coordinator. Dr. Sanford brings a wealth of clinical and professional experience, ranging from direct client therapy to serving as director of Cal Poly Humboldt's CAPS unit since 2003. In this new role, she is excited to work with the Student Health & Well-being Services team in expanding and enriching our services to keep pace with our growing campus community, with an emphasis on providing culturally appropriate, trauma informed, holistic health education and patient care services.
