Whitewater University administration and staff

About the Whitewater University administration and staff
The Whitewater University administration and staff are the people who keep the campus running day to day. Beyond classroom teaching, they oversee accreditation compliance, faculty hiring, student services, clinical operations at the WUC TCM Medical Center, and the partnerships with the California Acupuncture Board and other licensing bodies.
Most members of the Whitewater University administration also carry a faculty appointment — they teach in the same classrooms they oversee. That dual role is intentional: it keeps the leadership grounded in the student experience and ensures that academic decisions reflect what actually happens in practice.
Below, find each member of the administration and staff organized by school, with a portrait, role title, and the credentials that qualify them to serve in that position. For their full faculty bios — research interests, clinical specialties, and teaching focus — see the linked program-specific faculty pages.
