PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE, INITIATIVES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS 2004 – present

Mississippi State University, Starkville, Mississippi

Vice President for Student Affairs 2004 – present Responsible for leading the Division of Student Affairs. The division is staffed by nearly 200 professional staff and a total work force of more than 1,800 with an annual budget exceeding $66 million The division is comprised of 22 departments and units: Dean of Students, Enrollment, Admissions and Scholarships, Housing and Residence Life, Student Support Services (TRIO) and Disability Services, Student Health Center, Student Counseling Service, Student Financial Aid, Assessment and Testing, University Police, Cultural Diversity Center, Student Union, Recreational Sports, Golf Course, Dining Services, Bookstore, Center for America’s Veterans, Student Leadership & Community Engagement, Honor Code/Honor Council, Spirit Groups, and Student Affairs Development. Administrative Professor (Counselor Education – adjunct) 2004 – present Member of the Graduate Faculty (Adjunct). Serve on Doctoral and Master’s Committees. Teach courses in the Student Affairs Master’s Program. Serve as a member of the Department of Counselor Education and Student Affairs Master’s Program Advisory Councils to help assure compliance with CACREP accreditation standards. Selected Initiatives and Accomplishments at Mississippi State University Academic Initiatives  Led the initiative to create a Student Honor Code. Led the Academic Integrity Assessment Committee, which included faculty, staff and students. Conducted campus-wide student and faculty assessments and developed a new Student Honor Code that places faculty and students at the center of decision making and promotion of academic integrity. Six years later, the level of focus on the promotion of academic integrity and the effectiveness in addressing academic dishonesty has increased dramatically. MSU continues to have the only public university honor code in the state.  Brought together the vision of the Honors Program and the planning of the housing department in developing a new concept for MSU – a residential Honors College that would house the students, the faculty and the offices of the Honors Program under one roof, in a new state-of-the art residence hall. The concept attracted a $10 million donor, whose endowment donation enabled the elevation of the Honors Program to an Honors College. The college, now in its seventh year, is attracting more and more of the very best academically gifted students from throughout our state and region. Strategic Enrollment Management  Re-organized and enhanced the entire enrollment process at Mississippi State in order to achieve the desired enrollment growth goals. Placed strong emphasis on branding, marketing, outreach, and seamless processes. Developed a new concept for out-of-state recruitment that involved multiple components, all working together. These included new marketing efforts, revamped scholarship programs, placing recruitment staff in growth markets throughout the region and engaging the alumni network in recruitment efforts. Enrollment increased over 26% (from 16,000 to over 20,000) in five years. Increased academic quality of entering classes during that same time period.  Led the planning efforts to develop a stronger on-campus residential program in order to help achieve enrollment growth and retention goals. Provided leadership in the planning and construction of over 2,400 beds in seven new residence halls in eight years at Mississippi State. Plans are currently underway for a new graduate student apartment complex.  As Vice President, I have personally called prospective students, attended college fairs, visited high schools and community colleges, attended and spoken at in-home events and send-off parties. Student Success  Developed the concept for the Mississippi State Promise Program, which provides access to MSU for low income students and their families. The promise is to students from families with incomes below a certain threshold and good high school grades that they can attend MSU tuition-free and graduate debt free if they maintained a certain GPA while in college. In order to not add to the university’s debt, the entire program is privately funded. Also planned and developed a Promise Student Support Program that helps assure the academic success of these “at risk” students. The program is now in its seventh year and has distributed over $1.5 million to over 700 low income students. Retention and graduation

rates of these students exceed that of the general student body. The current goal is for the program to be funded entirely through endowment funds, thereby assuring the program’s perpetuity. Created the Student Affairs Assessment Department, which leads our efforts to assure student learning outcomes-based goal setting tied to the strategic plan and develops and implements an annual assessment plan based on those goals. All efforts tie to the university strategic plan and SACS accreditation standards. Led the planning and establishment of a Department of Student Leadership and Community Engagement. Character-based leadership training is provided for high school students through upperclass undergraduates. The Maroon Volunteer Center component coordinates service-learning activities that helped MSU achieve Community Engagement classification from the Carnegie Foundation. Led the planning and establishment of the Center for America’s Veterans. This model comprehensive service center for veterans and dependents has resulted in MSU being named as a Top 20 Most “Veteran Friendly” college in the country.

External Funding  Created the Student Affairs Development office. Accomplishments have included setting funding raising priorities, identifying prospects and relationship building, initiating an annual giving campaign focused on parents and student leadership alumni, and developing a naming campaign for a major expansion/renovation project. Student Affairs has secured several fund raising “victories” either through our own efforts or in collaboration with other divisions of the campus.  Personally developed proposals and closed gifts for scholarships and in support of Student Affairs, including a $4 million deferred gift and a $3 million endowment gift.  Provided leadership in two major gifts campaigns.  Led the planning and completion of a new residential living learning facility for the Honors College which was instrumental in securing a $10 million endowment gift.  Developed and continue to direct the Mississippi State Promise Program, which has attracted and spent over $1.5 million in private gifts in support of low income high achieving students. Strategic Institutional Planning  Led the development of the vision, mission, core values and strategic plan for the Division of Student Affairs.  Provided leadership in the development and implementation of two long term strategic plans for the university. Campus Facilities Planning, Renovation and Construction  Provided leadership in developing a campus master plan, including hiring the professional consulting team, serving on the planning team and helping structure ongoing compliance efforts.  Provided leadership in the planning and construction of over $130 million in new residential facilities, funded by revenue bonds. This transformation of campus housing included planning, selecting architects and contractors, developing budget pro-formas and full implementation of the plans. Efforts thus far include constructing seven new residence halls which have added over 2,400 new beds to the campus. Plans also included demolishing five older residence halls in that time frame.  Current efforts include plans to design and build a new apartment development for graduate students ($24 million) and a new cafeteria ($12 million).  Provided leadership in the expansion and renovation of the student union, construction of a new bookstore, and improvements to numerous other facilities. Financial Leadership  Lead a division with a total work force of over 1,800 and an annual budget over $66 million.  Led the planning and implementation of outsourcing dining services at MSU. Selected a corporate partner and successfully transformed the entire campus dining experience. Campus meal plan sales have increased tenfold, invested over $5 million in dining facilities improvements, and moved the operation from a deficit situation to one that contributes in excess of $1 million per year back to the university.  Provide direction and oversight to several auxiliary operations, including housing, dining services (contract with a corporate partner), campus bookstore (contract with a corporate partner), student health center, and golf course.

William L. Kibler, Page 4 Campus Leadership  Worked effectively within a shared governance approach to develop and continue to lead the Student Honor Code.  Chaired three executive level search committees for President, Vice President for Development & Alumni, and Executive Director of the Alumni Association. Each of the committees involved faculty, students, staff, alumni, and corporate and community leaders. The Presidential Search Committee required working closely with the state’s Commissioner of Higher Education and the members of the state-wide Board of Trustees.  Selected by four Presidents to continuously lead the Crisis Action Team and serve as the standing Incident Commander in all campus emergencies or crises. Responsibilities include chairing the team that includes representatives from all major operations on campus and the community, assuring training and preparedness of team members, oversight of the campus notification and communication systems, directing institutional responses and serving as the primary university spokesperson during crises. System Leadership  Led the IHL (Institutions of Higher Learning) system’s Chief Student Affairs Officers Council.  Regularly attend IHL Board of Trustees Meetings, representing MSU.  Served on the IHL Tuition Task Force.  Served on the IHL Text Book Task Force.
